ᐅ Incorrectly adjusted heating system – a valid case for warranty in new construction?

Good day.
I would like to ask the following.
Assuming that the adjustment of a new heating system is not correct (new build).
Does a correction by the heating installer fall under warranty or guarantee?
Who is responsible for clarifying this, the builder or the heating installer?
I suspect that our new heating system is set too “high.” The supply temperature for the underfloor heating is very high, as is the system’s energy consumption.
Of course, consumption is likely higher in a new building (because the structure is not yet completely dry), but a supply temperature of 50°C (122°F) at 2°C (36°F) outdoor temperature is already quite high!
Therefore, I would like the system checked by the heating installer.
To avoid any difficulties, I would like to know if this falls under warranty/guarantee or if it might be just goodwill on the part of the heating installer (or the builder?).
The building was handed over in the summer, when the heating system was not fully operational yet (at least the underfloor heating).
Thank you very much for your help!

@Bieber0815 this is about the linked pellet heating system. But it’s really pointless—every few days there’s a new thread about basically the same issue until someone finally says the system is incorrectly set up and the culprit is found.
Because 6 tons of pellets must certainly be enough for 950m² (10,230 sq ft).

Because 6 tons of pellets surely must be enough for 950 sqm (10,240 sq ft).Who is talking about 6 tons for 950 sqm (10,240 sq ft)???
Here we’re discussing 2 tons in a mild November... which probably corresponds to 3 tons in a harsh winter.
And that’s for a new KfW 70 standard house! Extrapolated, about 18 tons per year!
And underfloor heating with a flow temperature of 50 degrees Celsius (122°F) at outdoor temperatures between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius (32 and 50°F) is what we’re dealing with here.
That doesn’t seem efficient...
The 6 tons were the topic of discussion in one of your other threads.
From your point of view, what would be an appropriate energy consumption for a new build KfW 70 house, and what is this assumption based on?
Besides your outrage, nothing really comes across to the readers of the threads.
I already asked above, but once again you didn’t answer: Were the apartments actually too warm? Did you have 25°C (77°F) inside even though the thermostat was set to 20°C (68°F)? If not, why then is the supply temperature too high?
And for heaven’s sake, why don’t you just call a professional tradesperson already?!
The only inefficient thing here is your approach (and it’s not effective either). Or are you just trolling – at this point, that seems the most likely to me.

What would you consider to be an appropriate energy consumption for a new building meeting KFW 70 standards, and what is this assumption based on? Besides your astonishment, the readers of the threads get no further information.

And for heaven’s sake, why don’t you finally call a professional technician?!
