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.
