Hi all,
I've just had a new Worcester boiler and Drayton digistat installed. I've set the temp for the central heating at 70 degrees.
I've noticed that if the room temp was, say, 18 degrees and I set the stat to a target temp of 20 degrees, the central heating will remain on until the room temp is about 19 or 19.5 degrees, after which the boiler seems to intermittently switch on and off. This means that sometimes the central heating temp doesn't reach 70 degrees.
Whereas, if I set the stat target temp a lot higher (say 24 degrees) the heating will remain on for longer and so the central heating temp of 70 degrees is reached.
My question is, is this normal? I assumed the booler would remain on until the stat target temp is achieved, rather than go on and off when that temp is almost reached. Could it be some type of energy efficiency thing?
Just want to see what someone on here thinks before I bug my plumber about it!
Thanks!
