Possible Causes

Mechanical relay switching noise, Slightly loose mounting surface amplifying sound, Relay nearing end of life causing louder clicks, Vibration transmitted through wall

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate mains power before touching the Heat HubR.

  • Assess noise level: A single click when heating or hot water turns on or off is normal. Continuous buzzing or chattering is not.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the Heat HubR is firmly fixed to a solid surface; loose mounting can amplify noise.
  • Inspect for chattering: If the relay chatters rapidly, there may be a control fault or loose wiring; have a qualified engineer inspect the wiring and Heat HubR.

Persistent abnormal relay noise may indicate relay wear; replacing the Heat HubR is usually the practical solution.
