Worcester Greenstar 25Si Mk IV
Since its installation 5 years ago; whenever the weather is hot, such as it is now, my Father turns the Heating Temp dial down to the Snowflake symbol, believing this is the lowest setting but the radiators remain hot all the time.
He doesn’t use the timer, as he’s home throughout the day; so normally, the heating is on all the time, which due to normal UK weather conditions, this doesn’t cause a problem but currently, the radiators are hot and my Father house is uncomfortably hot.
Each radiator, excluding the bathroom, have thermostatic valves, set to heat setting 3.
Should the combi boiler have some kind of thermostat which can detect the heat within the house or detect outside weather temperature, which can turn the boiler off and just allow hot water ?
