    boiler keep firing far more often than usual ???

    Ok Thanks i'll check out at the 3 way motorised valve end. I did have a problem with this valve and replaced the head 6 months ago, with a new one. Yes i'm fine with electricity... If I turn both the HW and the CH off at the controller, then the boiler won't fire, so am I right to doubt the...

    potterton 3 port motorised valve faulty

    Hi, My heating is failing to go off at times. I've tested the thermostat and controller and come to the conclution it's my 3 port valve. But since I've disturbed it, it now seems fine. Will it be the acctuator at fault or do you think it will be that the valve was not seated correctly? I've...
