Possible Causes

Low gas inlet pressure, Partially blocked burner injectors, Incorrect gas valve adjustment, Scaled heat exchanger reducing heat transfer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Gas pressure and combustion adjustments must be done by a licensed gas technician.

  • 1. Check user settings: Confirm the Ferroli temperature control is set high enough and that any eco/low-power mode is disabled.
  • 2. Flow rate: Excessive flow can reduce outlet temperature. Slightly reduce tap flow and see if temperature improves.
  • 3. Descale heat exchanger: In hard water areas, arrange for professional descaling of the Ferroli heat exchanger.
  • 4. Gas-side checks (technician): A professional should measure inlet gas pressure, clean burner injectors, and verify gas valve settings according to Ferroli specifications.
