I am trying to tune this unit to keep my house warm. I can work on efficiency later.
I currently use 2 Nest thermostats that we had when we were oil based, I cleared out their learned patterns and started from scratch.
The Temp hit 12 and my house was at 68 when both zones are set to 72...
The house is an 1870's colonial with R-6 Siding and no insulation in the walls yet. Will be once I get the time to open the walls up and rehab the place. New Doors and a couple new windows... Slowly being replaced. 1800 sq ft and a 600 sq ft unfinished basement.
1st zone is 46 ft of baseboard with a 5K btu toe kick heater.
2nd zone is 36 ft of baseboard. I am thinking I should add another kick space heater on the second floor in the bathroom with a wall mount kit or more baseboard up stairs.
Thinking of adding an 11 K blower in basement on its own zone. And a 4th zone in my attic space as I redo the house.
Any ideas on how to tune this guy ? Or any tips. Right now here are the settings.
PS 17
Non well water
Return temp is set to 130 (140 doesn't seem to help any as it looks like the boiler temp fires at 165 most of the time but does spike to 185 at times.
Any other info and help is greatly appreciated.
