Boiler Short Cycling? Check These Two Control Settings First
When your boiler keeps shutting off and restarting, your first instinct might be to replace parts but that's not always the problem.
In this video, WARE explains one of the most common causes of boiler short cycling: improperly coordinated firing rate and operating pressure controls. Learn how your modulation settings affect burner operation, why your boiler may never reach low fire before shutting off, and how a simple control adjustment could improve efficiency while reducing wear and tear.
If your boiler is cycling more than it should, these control settings are worth checking before scheduling expensive repairs.
