Ideal Control Signal Failure

Boiler does not respond to the room thermostat or programmer; it stays off.

Possible Causes

Flat batteries in wireless thermostat, faulty Ideal Halo or other control, broken wiring between control and boiler, incorrect control settings (holiday/off mode).

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before handling wired controls.

User checks:

  • Thermostat batteries: Replace batteries in wireless thermostats and re-pair if necessary.
  • Programmer settings: Ensure heating and hot water are set to ON or timed, not OFF.
  • Manual boiler control: Increase the boiler's own thermostat and check if it fires when there is a demand.

If the boiler still does not respond, an engineer should test control circuits and replace faulty controls or repair wiring.
