Just moved to a bungalow. Its a conventional vented system, Concord WRS boiler, two 2-port motorised valves and 7 rads. Boiler stat set to 3.5 (max is 5)
When I turn on the heating which one of the two things below should happen?
A) The boiler should fire up, and stay fired up, until the room stat turns it off because the house is up to temperature.
B) The boiler should fire up, and after a while (5 to 10 mins.) cut out. It should then fire up again for a while. It will keep firing up for a while and then cutting out until the house is up to temperature.
The reason I ask, is that in my old house I had a combi, which would stay fired up all the way until the room stat was satisfied, not firing up and cutting out before temp. was reached. Which way should it be with this older system? I'm not saying there is a problem, perhaps that's how it should be. Takes a little longer to heat up than the combi system. Many thanks.
