How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No immediate hazard, but short cycling reduces efficiency and lifespan.

User checks:

  • Ensure room thermostat is located away from direct heat sources and set to a stable temperature.
  • Check that TRVs are not all closed, leaving no open circuit.

Engineer actions:

  • Review boiler output settings and reduce if the Grant model allows modulation.
  • Check operation and location of room and cylinder thermostats.
  • Verify presence and correct setting of an automatic bypass valve to maintain minimum flow.
