Air to water heating - house far too hot!

    Let me preface this by saying we are in a council property and have been given absolutely no instruction/handover/tutorials on how our new heating system works, so we are at a loss. We don't know anyone with this kind of heating system to ask, but we are desperate!
    Does anyone know anything about adjusting the indoor temperature? We've got both thermostats down to 15 degrees, have tried turning several of the radiators down and the digital display in the hotpress still reads that the indoor temperature is almost 30 degrees - fine in Tenerife, eyeball-boiling in your home. Is there any setting on the digital display that needs to be changed? We've tried looking at the user manual, but it sorta reads like I don't have the necessary Masters Degree to be looking at it :o

    I doubt it's even on. The "problem" is likely the sun coming in the windows, close your blinds during the day.

    It's definitely coming on - we have felt the radiators which is what prompted us to turn them down. All of them are down from 5 to at least 3, some are at 1 and two of them are actually turned off! We have the blinds closed most of day for privacy but it's not helping. I was under the misguided impression that having the thermostats set to 15 meant that the heating system would try to keep the indoor temperature at that level?

    Agree, our heating hasn't come on for ages and it's already 22.5 degrees in our north facing living room on an overcast day like today.

    What system have you got? There is usually a brand name (mine is panasonic) on the panel. If your youtube it you should find instructions.

    But there is an option to turn your heating off and only leave your water on. Thats what we do at the moment. House is still uncomfortably hot in certain rooms at certain times of the day

    It's a Samsung model - we did do a good search on youtube and did manage to get a video explaining how to set the timer for heating the water and how to do the "turbo" water heating for when a full tank is needed ASAP, but there's nothing pages and pages in about the actual heat. We opened every window in the house and the front and back door from 9 yesterday morning until 8pm when we put the kids to bed. All we got for our troubles was a load of bugs, and I'm fairly sure they don't like the heat either :pac:
