Possible Causes
Furnace output too high for system,Room thermostat located poorly (near heat source),Incorrect control settings,Bypass or low-load system causing rapid temperature rise
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Adjust only user-accessible controls unless you are a qualified technician.
- Check thermostat location: Ensure the room thermostat is not near radiators, sunlight, or drafts. Relocate if necessary.
- Adjust setpoints: Reduce flow temperature setpoint on the furnace to lengthen burner run times.
- Enable modulation: If using an on/off thermostat, consider upgrading to a Saunier Duval modulating eBUS controller for better load matching.
- Hydraulic adjustments: A heating engineer can adjust bypass valves and system design to reduce short cycling.
