Help! Heating always on - Ideal Isar HE 30

[s4rah1407]

Hi, I have just had an Ideal Isar HE 30 boiler fitted. Everything is fine with the hot water, but I can't seem to turn the central heating off.

The boiler displays 'C' all the time, and the burner light is flashing.

The only way I can get the radiators cold is to turn them right down to number 1.

The heating is set to minimum on the dial but still seems to be on?

I do not have a thermostat, is this why? I only have the dial controls on the boiler which are minimum and maximum.
Please help...I dont not fancy a sky high gas bill before xmas!!

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a programmer to set times?

 

[Halesowen1]

Building Regulations state that to confirm to it, it must have a thermostat fitted. So get your half wit heating engineer back and tell him to fit it to regulations.

think these have a preheat on them,, could be diverter is passing

typical isar, broke down already.
another month it will be on constant all the time anyway if its like last year.

isar?. then again.

The "C" flashing means something is calling for heat, either programmer or has it not even got one of these and does it just have a link for stat??
The "D" is for hot water.

It could be that he hit the pile of c**p with a hammer:95:

 

[nick/matt1]

best solution with one of those methinks:yesnod:

 

[armourer]

Or the solution may be the customer was the idiot with setting incorrectly.

Always too quick to blame an engineer on here.

I had a cracker yesterday, worcester 350, usual story hot water but no heating, 'It's your ironing board' I told her, 'what are you talking about?' she asked with an expression on her face that said 'oh no, not another cowboy!' Anyway, the programmer was tucked away in her storage cupboard and the said ironing board had flipped the switch to off, she did make an exceptional cup of tea though:26:
