Condencing boiler and heating questions

    Hi there

    Just wondering whats the most efficient way to run my oil central heating. I have a condencing boiler running 10 rads downstairs, 9 upstairs and 4 in the attic.The heating is split into zones (downstairs, upstairs and water).
    It is controlled by a 3 zone digital clock.

    The house is airtight and i have heat recovery in it. We are in it 1 year now and we have not had the heating on a timer just hitting the boost button when we get in from work for maybe an hour or two but i find the house cools down fairly quick.

    I have used 550 litres of oil from mid oct to mid jan.

    My question is

    1 Would it be better to use the timer and have the heat on for longer rather than hitting boost for an hour or two.
    2 For the heat recovery to work properly should the heating be on constant
