The gas man will have a service mode no need to raise or lower temperature. Mine as I mentioned was set at 43 when installed with advisable increase of 5-10 in the winter period. I don't follow that advice anymore. During the gas and electric hikes the advice given by government was to set the boiler at 60 so I did so. My water is set to 50 because my shower only goes that high, anything more would be a waste tbh the taps are mine at 50.

Did you gas man toggle your boiler to be in comfort mode so hot water is always readily available instead of the boiler manually calling for hot water when you turn the tap on? Mine is off. It adds to the bill considerably when on.

There's no efficiency while your boiler is set too high. The whole point of it is to steam inside, recycle the heat your boiler produces. Your boiler must be extracting a lot of heat through the exhaust pipe.
