Ideal Control Signal Failure

Boiler does not respond to room thermostat or programmer, stays off

Advertisements

Possible Causes

Flat batteries in wireless thermostat, Faulty Ideal Halo or other control, Broken wiring between control and boiler, Incorrect control settings (holiday/off mode)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before handling wired controls.

User checks:

  • Thermostat batteries: Replace batteries in wireless thermostats and re-pair if necessary.
  • Programmer settings: Ensure heating and hot water are set to ON or timed, not OFF.
  • Manual boiler control: Increase the boiler's own thermostat and check if it fires when there is a demand.

If the boiler still does not respond, an engineer should test control circuits and replace faulty controls or repair wiring.
