Hi All,
I've recently had a new combi boiler fitted (Worcester 24i Junior). All works fine - heating and hot water no problem. I have noticed that when there is a call for hot water (when I open the hot tap or when the heating is on), the boiler makes the quick 'click, click, click' sound before the 'boiler on' red light comes on. To me this sounds like the noise made when a pilot light is first lit. However, this happens just before the red light comes on, everytime. When the central heating is on this happens a lot - temperature is reached so boiler shuts off, minute or two later 'click, click, click' and red light comes on. Temperature reached again, shuts off then 'click, click, click'.
Is this normal or is there a problem ? If this is the sound of the pilot lighting, I thought it should be lit constantly (?)
Excuse my ignorance here - first time I've had a combi and wanted to get other opinions before I get in touch with the fitter. As I say, hot water and heating are fine.
Cheers,
Mark
