I'm in a brand new house with an 'Ideal' Classic boiler - i think they're supposed to be env friendly; they are! It doesn't stay on! We have scalding water, and the radiators have those independent thermostats on them, so the hallway is the only place that the main thermostat is supposed to control?
I've complained to the house builders - they originally said was a manuf problem; got manuf out who replaced the circuit board (and received a shock in the process!).. Got back the house builder installers and the electrician found some 'wires had been crossed'. they spent 3 hours on the wiring....
I'm confused! The housing company set the main thermostat (located at the opposite end of the hallway to the radiator there) to full. They told us that the radiators independently control the heat in each room. They've set the dial in the hot water cistern to around 75 degrees, so water is very hot. We were told to ensure the hot water is switched on when the heating timers are set to on, which we've done
What now happens is that when the central heating is on the timer, it comes on for an hour, does'nt really heat the rooms to a comfortable level, and switches off, even though the control panel says it shoudl still be on. this would be ok if the rooms were at the desired level of heat. The only way we can override is to switch the dial in the hot water cistern to a higher temperature, say 80 degrees and we can hear the heating come back on.
I don't think that the heating should be dependent on the hot water temperature in the cistern, but should be dependent on the thermostats in each room?
If we stick the control panel onto 'Once' or 'Continuous', the same happens
Can anyone suggest what the problem could be, or a way for us to ensure that the rooms heat up a bit more, before it switches off??
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
