ᐅ Setting the underfloor heating – desired temperature preference

Hello dear forum,
I have the following problem in my new build.
My temperature sensor is turned all the way down.
However, I can’t tolerate the temperature in the living/dining room.
It is 25 degrees Celsius (77°F) here. How can that be?
I have already lowered the desired temperature setting on my boiler, but it doesn’t help.
I have one heating circuit for the kitchen, one for the dining room, and two for the living room. All open to one room. Is it correct or possible that all heating circuits are controlled by a single temperature sensor, or did they forget to install some?
Thank you very much!

So, I took another look at the display. The supply temperature is currently around 36-37°C (97-99°F), and outside it’s minus 3°C (27°F). The maximum value right now would be 55°C (131°F). Should I adjust it, or leave it as is? I understand that if it gets colder, say minus 10°C (14°F) or lower, then the controller would increase the supply temperature up to 55°C (131°F). Is that correct? It hasn’t done that yet because it’s still too warm outside. Karsten

Even then, a maximum of 45 degrees Celsius (113°F) should easily be enough, especially since you have a gas boiler, right? Just experiment with it—nothing will break. Overall, lower the supply temperature as much as possible until your home is still comfortably warm.
This is much more important with a heat pump, while with a gas boiler it’s not as critical. Whether it delivers a supply temperature of 30, 35, or 45 degrees Celsius (86, 95, or 113°F) doesn’t really matter to the boiler. But with a heat pump, it makes a big difference.

Yes, Karsten, you’re right. A supply temperature of 55°C (131°F) is more typical for underfloor heating systems from the 1960s. With radiators, I currently set the supply temperature to 48°C (118°F) when it’s -12°C (10°F) outside. The house is moderately insulated overall, built in 1963 with windows from 1993.
When it gets cold, your feet get hot— the typical “thick feet” feeling you remember from the past.
As a non-expert, I don’t know the specific controls for heating systems and had to look mine up, too.
In the end, you can lower the heating curve until the first room no longer feels warm enough, then raise it slightly again. Wait a day after each adjustment. The house is new, well insulated, and has underfloor heating. It reacts slowly.
