My central heating comes on at night intermittanly, approx 10 mins at a time, despite the programmer showing the heating and hot water as off. I don't believe the hot water comes on, but am not sure. The only way I can stop this happening is to switch either the boiler or the programmer off. My question is would you consider this an electrical fault, so I need an engineer or, could it be boiler associated so I need a gas man. I feel it may be the programmer as the boiler will go off if this is swichted off, but I would very much appreciate someone's informed opinion. Many thanks.

Sorry just to confirm then are you saying that this is normal and I should ignore it? I don't mean to appear stupid, just want to confirm. Thanks
Yes if a frost stat is fitted then this is normal.
You should also have a pipe stat wired in series with the frost stat, so the boiler only fires when the return pipe temperature gets really cold.
Where is the boiler fitted?

Its in the garage and was put there by the previous owner. I must say from what you have both said it seems semsible as the garage is obviously very cold. Thanks so much for your help as I know nothing about these things, its put my mind at rest
Thats your answer then.
The frost stat will be on a wall near the boiler usually, looks like a standard room stat, but isn't.
Thanks, I've just found the Frost Stat, didn't realise that was what is was. Again, many thanks.
