Boiler is burning again, but where their house is warm, it will come on for 40 secs or so and then remain off for a while. This cant be doing it much good.
There may be some settings on the thermostat for this heating system that weren't set correctly. Just been reading about thermostat hysteresis and looked up to see whether there was anything for the stat we are using. Its a Drayton Digistat RF601. There appear to be settings to tell it its an oil boiler and also for the room heat up times described here - https://thermostat.guide/drayton/drayton-digistat-rf601n-rf-room-thermostat-installation-guide/
The oil boiler bit is easy as it needs to be told its an oil boiler, but there is another setting they call System Capability and it says to set as follows:
F - Fast - the house usually reaches setpoint in <1hour
S - Slow - the house usually reaches setpoint in >1hour
Question - is this supposed to be me telling the stat what happens or me telling the stat what I want it to do?
I.e. I think it means that because the house warms up quickly I set to F? - does that make sense?
Maybe these will help give it a bit more time between burns??
