I just had one of these installed to my existing hot water tank and thermostat/ timer set up. The boiler is on eco mode and I have the hot water and radiator temperatures set low. The boiler will come on and heat water to keep it around 65 degrees on the screen. I notice Mark's is at 28 degrees. It's driving me mad. Everything is set to OFF but it still fires up every so often.

Hi , for a good week or so my boiler kept coming on outside of programmed hours heating my radiators after searching the internet the information that was given kept telling me there was a fault with the system. However, after coming across your video, it turns out that the eco function was not showing so with this now on showing it displayed its now a waiting game to see if it turns on in the middle of night which it as been doing , just a quick question though although the boiler is pre heating , surely my radiator should not be warming up should it not just be the boiler?

Hello Mark, I have a Tado thermostat when I switched it off I realised that the boiler was still heating the radiators . I have a Green Star 2000. I switched it off manually but when switched it on again the boiler continued to heat the house up. Is there a way to switch the radiators off from this boiler please without using the Tado? And what do you think is causing this issue ? Thank you very merry ch in advance! Nancy

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge of this boiler. Would you consider doing an in depth look at the WB easy control? There are some functions such as WDC that aren't really explained by WB. Also I'm confused if the water pre-heat (eco mode off) can be "timed" when using the easy control.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the vid. Just one question……. I understand you can turn the radiators off on the boiler, which I’m told is ‘summer mode’. Apparently, when the boiler is in summer mode, there is a diagonal bar through the on screen radiator symbol in the top left of the boiler screen. How can I activate this summer mode, as there’s no instruction on how to do it in the Worcester users manual. However, it does mention it ! Many thanks Mark.

When turning the hot tap on, what’s the average time to get hot water out of the tap? Currently it’s taking me about a minute. I’ve tried having eco on and off, and having the water at the highest temp and makes no difference. Any thoughts?

@christopherbovingdon6567 7 ай бұрын

It depends on the distance between the boiler and the tap. When the tap is turned off, the water between tap and boiler will cool down. When the tap is turned on again that cooler water needs to be cleared before the freshly heated water appears.

Very good explanations. Just one question; when you want to adjust the radiator temperature, do you just touch the rad icon, or keep it pressed until the temperature flashes? Also, how to avoid heating being turned on 24/7? Or is the only solution, for example, to turn off the boiler at night time? Thanks

What does the -60- mean can’t find a fault code for that

@essanjay8604 Жыл бұрын

We've just moved into a house with one of these boilers. The previous owners had the radiator temp set at 60 but we noticed every radiator in the house was turned up to maximum. During the extreme cold snap last week we upped the radiator temp to 65 but adjusted each room to 3 or 4 max. The main problem we have is that the main house thermostat which is located at the bottom of the staircase (stairs lead off living room) never comes near reaching the temperature set - the highest we've ever seen it reach is around 15 so if we set it at 20 degrees the boiler is chugging away constantly. All very confusing for the average Joe!

That the whole system goes off when it reaches hall temp confuses me. We set the hall at 15 as we don't want it too warm. If you set the hall at 20 and then set the room settings it should let it do what it wants to, perhaps. We have each room different and turn them on and off when we're not using them.

@essanjay8604 Жыл бұрын

@@peternumber19 In our previous house the engineer who serviced the boiler advised setting the hall temperature at 21 because that heats the core of the house and a well insulated house (we had cavity wall insulation and triple glazing) will then remain warmer for longer. It definitely worked very well for us. Keeping the door to every room shut and turning radiators off in certain rooms doesn't really work in a busy household particularly in the holidays with kids constantly moving from room to room up and down stairs.

@cathalgriffin5859 Жыл бұрын

Having the thermostat in the hall gives a baseline for the house temp. It works best when you have thermostats on all your room's radiators. Rooms infrequently used could be set to frost, and main rooms set to a suitable temp. It is trial and error. Set the hall thermostat temp highish. When the boiler cuts off, i.e. the hall temp reaches the set temp, go to each room and see if the temp is where you would like it. Those set to frost will be cold. You can then assess the other rooms temperatures. If they are warmer than you want, simply turn them down. Wait an hour or so and do another check. You will eventually be able to set all your rooms to the desired temperatures.
