Hi,
I have a problem where my central heating is starting up during the night (but not during the day, as far as I know), and all radiators are getting warm. Last night it was from around 3:45am to 4:05am. Our set-up:
Potterton Suprima conventional boiler approx 8 years old, serviced yearly
Megaflow style hot water tank, 15 months old
Honeywell thermostat
Hot water and central heating control valves (Honeywell) replaced earlier this year
(all the above is in the loft)
Control panel in kitchen, currently set to so that water is heated in the morning and late afternoon, central heating is set OFF
I did get up last night and check that the hot water and central heating were both off, but I coudn't go up into the loft to check the valves/switches and the boiler itself. I tried switching the hot water and cnetral heating on then off, but this made no difference
Any ideas what this could be ? Coudl the thermostat be way off and think that the loft is cold enough to fire the boiler/central heating ? I would imagine that the TRVs are currently set so that the radiators shouldn't be coming on anyway, but the ones I touched were definitely hot.
Thanks,
kch
