I had an old boiler that heated our water. I installed an electric hot water heater for increased efficiency. However, now even when my thermostat is set low, the boiler kicks on and results in the house being warmer than the thermostat is set (thermostat is new). I'm guessing the boiler is still trying to maintain a minimum temp or something related to its old hot water function. It's resulting in the heat to kick on even when our house is warmer than the thermostat temp. How can i fix this? Thanks!!
Rotfl you haven't any longer been all electric powered in the previous have you ever? you have been switching the boiler on for the period of the day, in all probability - while it extremely is meant to be left on at night! in basic terms attempt turning it on one night and see if it makes a difference will ya? incredibly in the adventure that your 'heaters' are storage heaters. the assumption is it hots the entire tank up in one day and could swap itself off for the period of the day. look intently for 2 separate switches - a night swap is what you prefer. you have been fiddling with the daylight hours swap which in basic terms hots up the ideal third of the tank.
I would suggest you get a professional in to see what you have done as your unsureness about some things frightens me.
Only way you will stop it heating is to disconnect hot water tank from boiler , why do you think that an electric heater is more efficient than your boiler ? have you got an old faulty system ?
Just simply turn the boiler switch off or turn the breaker off in the summer. Back on in the winter. The best way would be to disconnect the water heating controls on the boiler but just turning it off is free.
