Hello,
I have recently moved to a place with CHP heating.
the controls have a Thermostat powered by "Heat Exchange" switch,
and a cylinder powered by a switch called "Cylinder"
I programmed thermostat to only turn on in the evenings, and kept both switches ON at all times, thinking that heat would only come when programmed.
To my surprise Cylinder itself is warm at all times, even when Thermostat says "off", and hot water is also available at all times!!
Can somebody please explain how it's supposed to work, and why I get hot water, when I don't expect it - and how to run it cost efficiently, so I don't get million pound bill by the end of month.
Also why does Cylinder has it's own switch, isn't it just a container for hot water? or is it warming it up somehow?
