I have an IKON-T combi boiler that operated radiators with TRVs (via the boiler timer) and hot water until about five years ago when I had a new kitchen fitted with under floor heating. This was added to the existing system and ran from a JG Aura thermostat.
A couple of years ago we had occasional problems with the boiler continuing to run (obvious in the middle of the night). Switching on and off via settings on the thermostat saw it running properly again on the programme. The same thing happened occasionally last winter. Yet again this year I am finding the same thing but I have had to do a lot more toggling on and off to get it to finally switch off on several occasions already. Obviously I also have the possibility of just switching the boiler to the ‘summer’ setting but I would prefer it to be working properly.
I am thinking of asking the service engineer to look at it at the next service, but obviously intermittent faults can be problematic…
It seems strange to me that the boiler will always switch on when commanded by the thermostat but sometimes struggles to switch off and then obviously needs quite a jog (switching on and off repeatedly) to do this.
Any ideas what is going on, so I can be clear to the service engineer (tell him to bring the right part etc.)?
