Hello all, hope you can help
I have a Valliant Ecotec pro 24, for heating & instant HW. This was installed earlier this year as a replacement for my 20-year old boiler.
3-bed terrace with 8 radiators, 7 of which have TRVs. There is also a wireless roomstat in the hallway, and a timer on the boiler. So far, so good.
The problem is, the thermostat doesn’t seem to be working as I expect. I’ve never seen/heard the boiler turn off when the central heating is switched on (either constant on or timed on). Even when I turn the thermostat down to frost setting, the boiler continues to whirr and consume gas (as seen at the meter). The little gas flame icon and central heating icon are lit up.
The house certainly gets cooler, so the thermostat is obviously doing something, but nowhere near cold (I can still walk around in T shirt).
Before I contact the installer, am I right in thinking the boiler should be off, and consuming no gas (except for the pilot light) when the thermostat doesn’t require heat? Could it be wired up wrong?
Thanks in advance.
