Good afternoon.
I don't think this is a problem as such, but I'd like your opinions.
I replaced a simple roomstat with a digital programmable one a few days ago. The new one appears to be far more sensitive/responsive than the old on. Consequently, heat is now demanded from the boiler on many more occasions, but for short periods of time only (as opposed to maybe an hour at a time with the old stat).
From a comfort point of view this is great as the house temperature remains fairly constant. I was wandering, though, does this increased cycling of the boiler cause additional wear? It probably runs for less time now, but ignites, etc. more frequently.
Thanks, Dan
