Hello,
21 days ago, we had our cement screed installed, and this morning the heating technician came to start up the heating system. In advance, he received a heating protocol from the screed installer, specifying the required flow temperatures (Days 1-3: 20°C (68°F), Day 4: 25°C (77°F), and so on up to a maximum of 45°C (113°F)). This afternoon when I came home from work, I was shocked... The house was very warm, and the heating system showed a flow temperature of 37°C (99°F). Additionally, the screed started to develop blistering in several spots. I immediately turned off the heating and called the technician. Unfortunately, it was not the same person as in the morning, and he couldn’t understand why it was set incorrectly. He just adjusted it again and lowered the maximum value from 40°C (104°F) to 20°C (68°F).
I couldn’t see any major damage in the dark. The heating had been running for about 6-7 hours with the wrong settings. Could there be further damage? What can I do to protect myself in case of consequential damage? Thanks!
