epsilonGreedy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A Gassafe chap commissioned the boiler in my static caravan earlier this week which now feels like a home rather than a refuge. Everything seems good from a heating point of view except there is a warm exhaust airflow that runs for hours including periods when no gas is burning. Is this normal? I ask because the cumulative heat loss must be costly. Temperature regulation of the radiators and combi hotwater seems good. The Worcester 24i boiler is of unknown age and there were multiple cases of frost related damage discovered when mains water was connected to the caravan. I have not found a room thermostat.

Nickfromwales Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Is it the pilot light in the boiler ? Static vans don’t often have electronic ignition devices, instead you have the piezo button to spark and ignite manually. That flame is there 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That flame is there 24/7 I will check again for the pilot light but the exhaust airflow I am referring to is driven by a fan I reckon. Would I be correct in thinking that after a burn cycle, forced exhaust ventilation of the boiler should switch off after a few minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 So are you saying that the flue fan is constantly running ..?? If so, that is a fault on the boiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
