One heating zone, one radiator

[David937]

Hello,

The zoning on my heating system has been fixed, but I am slightly worried.



When running the attic zone which only has one radiator, the boiler fires and the flow temperature quickly rises (Sometimes above the set flow temperature by a few degrees) it last around 1 minute and then cuts out, the boiler goes into anti cycling for a while then comes back on and does the same thing until the temperature has been reached. This won't happen when both zones are calling for heat (Other zone has 10 radiators and a Myson kickspace), it doesn't happen when only supplying downstairs either.

Is it because the attic only has one radiator?

Regards

It should get up to temp quick as there is no resistance i.e other rads and pipes.

What is the problem apart from getting up to temp quickly as you should be pleased.

The boiler short cycles too much, it cycles for about one minute.

So I take what is happening is normal and I shouldn't be worried and it won't result in excessive gas usage.

BTW nice to know you haven't been smoking for so long

Hopefully a Corgi will answer you soon.

Thanks for your kind words, even after this long though I would still like a puff!

I hope a Corgi arrives soon, that is the last thing I am worried about on my new system, TBH I can't be bothered to call back the installer.
