Now leet me see.... Hmmm......

Looking at the technical specification of the Worcester Greenstar, it
says that the output to central heating is from 7.4 to 28.8kW.
This sounds awfully like modulating to me......

Who was it that you were saying wasn't reading and paying attention?

W-B tech people say the "heating" boiler can deliver a constant temp. I
know
I have recently put one in and used a late heat exchanger on the red
return
to lower the return temp. It works wonderfully.

The ideal heating boiler has some of the flow/ret sensors taken off.

I am sure it *can*, but why screw up a perfectly good and efficient
modulating boiler and wreck its efficiency?

The makers do not seem to think it is inefficient at all.

Wowee. Well they're not going to say "By the way, John, this is not
the most efficient way to run a condensing boiler", are they?

After all, they still sell conventional boilers and are quite pleased
with themselves about that.

The fact is that more efficient operation by far happens at lower F&R
temperatures.



Where did you install this claimed boiler?

Relatives house, keeping the old boiler as a backup in case the B-W fails.

A win,win situation, I'm sure.

They just flick a switch to bring in the old clunker and light its pilot.

How do you react to having your pilot lit?
