Possible Causes

Oversized boiler, Incorrect control settings, Low system water volume, Thermostat hysteresis too small

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Adjust only user-accessible settings unless you are a trained technician.

  • 1. Check room thermostat: Increase the differential/hysteresis if adjustable to reduce rapid cycling.
  • 2. Adjust heating curve: Lower the heating curve slightly so the boiler runs longer at lower output.
  • 3. Increase system volume: In some cases, adding a buffer tank or additional radiators can help; consult a heating engineer.
  • 4. Pump setting: Ensure the pump is set appropriately to distribute heat quickly.
