Low System Load / Bypass or Oversizing Issue
Boiler cycles on and off rapidly when only a small radiator or towel rail is open
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Boiler oversized for system, No automatic bypass valve, TRVs all nearly closed, Minimum output too high
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid covering radiators or blocking ventilation around the boiler.
- Open more radiators: Increase the number of radiators in use to provide sufficient load.
- Lower flow temperature: Reducing CH flow temperature can help reduce cycling.
- Engineer solutions: The engineer may fit or adjust an automatic bypass valve, rebalance the system, and adjust boiler parameters (where allowed) to better match the system.
