Possible Causes

Oversized boiler for system, Incorrect minimum output setting, Blocked or undersized system pipework, Faulty room thermostat placement

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Short cycling can reduce boiler life but is not usually an immediate safety risk.

  • Check thermostat location: Ensure the room thermostat is not near heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can cause premature shut-off.
  • Open all radiators: Make sure enough radiators are open to absorb the boiler's minimum output.
  • Engineer tasks: Adjust boiler parameters (minimum output, pump overrun), review system design, and consider adding a buffer or additional emitters if the boiler is significantly oversized.
