hi everyone
I’ve noticed a small issue with my heating and it’s bugging me because I can’t put my finger on what’s causing the radiators to randomly come on when our Nest therm is off.
I don’t think the Nest is at fault because the heat link is not showing “Heat on” lights when the boiler randomly fires up.
I don’t think the valve is at fault either as it’s brand new, replaced last summer.
My only thought is it must be a frost protection setting as we are in winter and this mostly happens at night, although it’s happened today when it’s 6 degrees.
Is it normal though for the rads to heat up when this happens? Also the temperature on my thermostat shows high in the mornings, so there has definitely been a lot of heat throughout the cold nights, again when I don’t have any heat scheduled at all on my Nest.
I’m quite good with electrics and have done some process of elimination tasks, I’m convinced it is something to do with frost protection, but don’t know how to fix this, also my heating bills are rising, which is why I need to find this fault.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
