Hi. Newbie. I've recently moved into a new flat. The central heating comes on at 06:30. On a cold (outside) morning, the temperature in the combined loung/dining room make take until 1 or 2 pm to reach 20 deg C (68 deg F). Does anyone know if there is any sort of official guideline or specification for this sort of performance factor?

Cabbage. Hi. I'm elderly and have the 'shakes' and because of that I clicked twice when I shouldn't have. The result is that I have created two 'threads'. I hope you will not mind if I reply to you in the other thread?
