We have a worcester Bosch combi. As part of me trying to decide on whether to upgrade TRVs or get a new thermostat installed, I have but the boiler onto constant heating, then switched off all rads and towel rails.
I would have excpected the boiler to (eventually) stop trying to heat the CH as its not needed. But it is still heating away, some 30 minutes later. How does a boiler decide whether to heat the CH - is it the temperature difference between flow out and return back? If so, would it suggest that I am losing heat somewhere on the pipe run (eg under a floor, or in a wall)?
Is it possible to "tune" the boiler to expect a different temperature change so I can tune it to my requirements?
