Hi, I have a tenant at a property and she's reported that she thought the wireless thermostat wasn't communicating with the boiler as the radiators seemed to be on all of the time, despite the program saying they shouldn't be.
my boiler is a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28i junior and the thermostat a Salus RT500rf (I've heard they're rubbish but it's never given a problem in the last 5 years).
I popped round to check check and did all of the non-expert things I could....new batteries, checked programs, reset transmitter unit, turned receiving wall unit on and off. When I increase temp manually on wireless thermostat, the green light on receiving wall unit comes on, pilot light on boiler fires up. When I turn the temp down, the pilot light goes out, presumably turning heating off? All good I think. I then set all 5 programs to the minimum 5degrees to hopefully get the radiators to go off. Several hours later my tenant said the radiators were still hot.
i got a heating engineer out yesterday and he said the thermostat seemed fine and was doing what it was meant to do.
Tenant contacted me again today and she still thinks the thermostat isn't engaging with the boiler as the rads are still always hot.
could it be something else causing it and nothing to do with the thermostat?
Thanks in in advance for any help
