Possible Causes

Blocked Ferroli plate heat exchanger (on combi units), Partially closed system valves, Undersized or failing circulation pump, Incorrect boiler temperature setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: System water can be hot; allow to cool before touching pipework.

Steps:

  • Check temperature setting: Ensure the heating flow temperature on the Ferroli control panel is set high enough for the system design.
  • Open valves: Confirm all radiator valves and isolation valves near the furnace are fully open.
  • Bleed radiators: Remove trapped air that can reduce heat transfer.
  • Check pump: Listen and feel for the Ferroli pump running; if very hot and noisy, it may be failing.

Professional help: A technician may need to powerflush the system, replace the pump, or clean/replace the plate heat exchanger.
