Herz
Short Cycling / Oversized Boiler or Control Issue
Boiler cycles on and off rapidly without reaching room temperature
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Boiler output too high for system, incorrect control settings, lack of bypass or low system volume, faulty room thermostat placement
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Frequent cycling can reduce boiler life but is not usually an immediate hazard.
- Adjust setpoints: Lower the flow temperature on the Herz boiler to lengthen run times.
- Check thermostat location: Ensure the room thermostat is not near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Enable modulation: If available, enable weather compensation or load compensation features in the Herz controller.
- Hydraulic changes: A heating engineer may need to add a buffer tank or bypass to increase system volume.
