Possible Causes

Incorrect control mode (on/off vs modulating) selected, Thermostat installed in draught or near heat source, Aggressive setback or schedule changes, Incorrect heating curve or hysteresis settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No electrical work required.

  • 1. Check thermostat location: Ensure it is on an interior wall, away from radiators, windows, and draughts. Relocate if necessary.
  • 2. Review control settings: In the Vaillant controller menu, select the recommended control mode for your boiler (eBUS modulating where supported) and adjust hysteresis or cycle rate if available.
  • 3. Smooth schedules: Avoid large, sudden setpoint changes. Use smaller setbacks and gradual transitions.
  • 4. Adjust heating curve: For weather‑compensated systems, slightly lower the heating curve to reduce overshoot.
  • 5. Monitor performance: Make one change at a time and observe for 24–48 hours before further adjustments.
