Possible Causes

Oversized boiler for the system, Poor system balancing, Thermostat located in an unsuitable position, Minimum output set too high.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Adjust only user-accessible controls unless you are a qualified engineer.

  • Check thermostat location: Ensure the room thermostat is not near heat sources, direct sunlight, or in a draught.
  • Adjust radiator balancing: Partially close lockshield valves on radiators that heat up very quickly to encourage more even heat distribution.
  • Lower CH flow temperature: If your Biasi boiler allows, reduce the CH flow temperature slightly to lengthen run times.
  • Engineer optimisation: A technician can adjust boiler parameters (where allowed), check modulation, and advise on system design improvements.
