Frost Stat

[EMtec]

Hi

I have a frost stat connected to the baxi solo 2 boiler and it just keeps turning the central heating on all the damn time, and its not even that cold outside.

Is there anyway that I can temporarily disconnect the frost stat? and what could be the problem for this pattern?

check the frost stat for operation, see if it has just been set too high and needs turning down a little, you can just disconnect the stat for normal boiler operation, howerver a speedy replacement would be a good idea.

A frost stat fires up the boiler when its ambiant temp is a few degrees over zero, to stop frost damaging your heating system/boiler, so without one your heating system can be damaged due to frost

my opinion, turn it down or pop it off to check it is at fault, if it is replace it as soon as resonably possible..

where is the boiler

 

[EMtec]

Boiler is located in the garage.

 

[kevplumb]

then it depends on the temp of the garage not the house

It could definatly do with the stat then.

Edit: I did say the ambient temp of the stat

Fit a pipe stat to turn the boiler off when the return water has reached 25 degrees.
Do not turn off the frost stat as it is there to protect the boiler.
