Settling back in to more mundane house news, had to drag the space heater down to the ground floor for the seemingly yearly thawing of the downstairs toilet (which is now working just fine - we'll keep some warm air on it while it remains around -10)

I believe I have now earned a more traditional 11:30PM ice cream as it's now too hot to sleep upstairs... but I will resist the temptation to crack open the window ;-)

So! The preliminary diagnosis was that the water heater part of the system was taking priority over the radiator part of the system, which wasn't so great since I wasn't actually using THAT hot water. Also, this feels like kinda a hidden "feature" of linking the hot water heater to the boiler I wasn't aware of a year ago....to be fair, it didn't bite me until now, but I feel like we had some -10 days back in January?

The tech (hats off to the company for sending somebody out IMMEDIATELY) was one of the crew who INSTALLED this thing last December - he made a call to find out what needs to be tweaked. ("Boiler tech support" sounds hilarious.) In the meantime, he'd forced the boiler to get boiling while ignoring the water heater and we've finally seen an uptick in the thermostat's reported temperature - up to 51 from 50, wheeeeeeee

Whatever is happening was surely a result (a snowball?) of it being pretty much below zero all day (and much of the previous two days) - the radiators just weren't keeping up and maintaining the house temperature the way they were supposed to with the way the heaters were running.

It sounds like I may be a test case for other folks who will call in with the same problem. They adjusted some settings, then wrote it up as a warranty call, no charge. I guess I can now name them - it was Snelling Heating, who came off my boss' recommendation last year.

It will take a while to get equalized but we're on the road back to the 60s! I'll keep you posted. I know you love the episodic stuff!

21.12.22 18:39 Just went downstairs and glimpsed at the thermostat which said it was... 52! I wonder when the heater was turned off. It's definitely on now!
