Worcester Boiler - GREENSTAR 8000 Life - Heating anomaly

I have recently noticed when I have lost power to my boiler and power is then reinstated that the Central Heating comes on.

Is this the norm?…ALL CH controls are off.

Are you sure it’s the heating? Do the rads get hot?

 

[Jon999]

Yes..get warm,…and flame icon shows on room thermostat transmitter.

further info….room thermostat set below actual room temp.

Able to remove flame icon (and CH) by reducing setting even lower!

What controls are you using? Is it a combi boiler?

Not something I’ve heard of personally. I was thinking link left in, but if it stops when you lower, then could be controls. If it’s under warranty I’d book a warranty call.

I think it is something that doesn’t continue, I recall that the radiator icon on the boiler control was not flashing, as is the case when ch on!

I first noticed when I saw the transmitter flame on and then checked boiler rad icon not flashing…but rads warm.

I’ll take more notice next time.

Under warranty..so I might give them a call.

Thanks for interest.

When the 8000 gets turned back on it goes through a 20min condense cycle at low flow temps which would make the rads warm but not hot.

Thank you…I think that maybe is what happened…solved!
