what temp settings for a 4 zone baseboard system

big_al_41
9 years ago

My sons new home has a 4 zone hot water baseboard heating system. The prior owner mentioned to him he should adjust the water temp for the seasons ... one for winter and one for spring.

What would you guys suggest ( temp wise )?? The prior owner didn't say. Is this a good thing to do ?

I guess he figured that they needed hotter water in the winter to heat with and not so much for the spring and summer.
