The Most Economical Use Of The Temperature Control For A Water Heater?
I have an oil fired boiler which incorporates a 150 litre hot water tank. Do anybody know is it more economical to keep the temperature control for the water high or low?

I would say lower, but perhaps insulating the tank so that it holds it’s temperature longer would be a more energy saving way.

Your boiler also provides the heat for the house, right? To keep the house warm you need a fairly high temperature on the boiler. If the water tank has a separate thermostat, turn it down a bit every couple of days until you start to run out of hot water, then turn it back up a few degrees – that temperature is meeting your needs.
