Question:

What is the most cost effective way to heat my boiler?

It is on a timer to come on everyday,when i get up to go to work and when i have a shower and is set for an hour each time.Is this too long or not long enough? Thanks

Answer:

What is your fuel source? Gas or Electric? The best thing is to have it set to a thermostat and when the Temperature is at the setting you set it turns off. If it is set too low it will never shut off. Increase the insulation. Gas is more cost effective and it will give you more BTU's sooner. Does your Boiler work with a heat exchanger? It is more efficient to have a closed loop system of a saline solution mixed with an oil will hold the heat better than purified water. A timer is a waste.
