Hello,
I have a Myson Apollo boiler on a gravity fed system. I've only recently noticed that about every 20 minutes or so, the boiler will fire up burner and all, for about 30 seconds and then shut down again. Not good with present energy prices!
I have turned the hot water and central heating on the timer unit off, the thermostat by the front door to zero and it still does it. I know the flu fan used to turn on and off periodically, I presume to vent any gasses from the pilot light but I can't remember the boiler turning itself on.
Is this normal and if not, any ideas??
Also, as this boiler is getting old (20 years), can anybody suggest a good replacement boiler should I eventually invest in having a new one installed.
Thanks.
