Hi folks!,
I've a few quirky issues with my boiler since I moved in and I've spent all evening buffing up on central heating tech and terms and I think I've diagnosed the issue. I would greatly appreciate if one of you kind people could tell me if I'm right or wrong.
Just to let you know I'd never heard of Honeywell until a few hours ago and if you asked me what an Y system was, I'd have described a form of underwear toilet access to you.
My heating system has from what I can see a single 2 port (Honeywell) valve and the only tempreature i can adjust is the front of my oil boiler.
The Honeywell appears to be working fine however the orange wire doesn't go anywhere? (when CH is ON) it literally just opens and the boiler and pump remain off.
When I first saw this valve I thought it would be to open the HW loop if the CH was on but after turning the CH on, the valve opens and nothing else happens, no heat
now when the HW is on, the valve does nothing and the hot water gets (Scolding) hot, and one radiator in the kitchen (next to the tank) gets to hot to touch.
So basically I can't turn off my HW and must have it on to use my CH.
Is this normal, I was hoping it would be the other way and I could turn off the HW and give a bit more pressure to get the rads furthest from the boiler a bit hotter!
I think I'm stuck with this? am I right?
