Possible Causes

Oversized boiler relative to load, Incorrect control settings, Poor system water flow, Faulty room thermostat placement

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Adjust only user-accessible controls unless you are a qualified technician.

Steps:

  • Check thermostat location: Ensure the room thermostat is not near heat sources, drafts, or direct sunlight.
  • Adjust boiler output: On modulating Intergas models, reduce the maximum CH output or flow temperature to better match the system.
  • Improve flow: Open radiator valves fully and ensure all zones are balanced so that sufficient water flow passes through the boiler.

If short cycling persists, a heating professional should review system design and may recommend adding a buffer tank or reconfiguring controls.
