Possible Causes
Oversized boiler, Incorrect control settings, Low system water volume, Faulty thermostat or sensor placement
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Normal operation involves some cycling, but rapid cycling can damage components.
- 1. Check thermostat location: Ensure room thermostats are not near heat sources or drafts that cause rapid temperature swings.
- 2. Adjust settings: Review Noritz boiler control parameters (if accessible to user) for minimum run time or differential settings; consult manual.
- 3. Increase system volume: If the system has very little water volume (e.g., small radiant zones), discuss adding a buffer tank with your installer.
- 4. Professional review: A heating professional can evaluate boiler sizing and control strategy to reduce short cycling.
