Why Do I Have to Turn My Boiler Off and on Again

Hello guys,

I am just curious whether turning the boiler off before bed is okay to do? I don't know if that affects it anyhow, but I adopt to plough it off earlier bed and and so back on in the morning when I am upward. Is that corporeality of time switched off perfectly fine for boilers?

Of course, it is no unlike from setting it with a timer as most do who don't run it 24/seven

Why would you want to do that? If it's a combi or condensing boiler, so no hot water or heating will be available until yous switch it back on. On cold mornings, the house will experience cold as either the room thermostat or the timer would not be able to telephone call for heat until you actually switch on the boiler

However, if you do desire to switch off the boiler, then the boiler will be fine.

There is a resident expert on here regarding all things boiler-related - call out to @seacam for advice.

Personally, ours is on a timer and goes off at about nine.00 in the evening and comes back on again a bit before we get upwards in the morn

Are you talking about a gas boiler with a pilot light? In which example are you talking about switching off the pilot light? Why? In that instance I would have thought it would increase habiliment and tear on the boiler.

Hi guys,

I am just curious whether turning the boiler off before bed is okay to do? I don't know if that affects it anyhow, but I prefer to plough it off before bed and so dorsum on in the morning when I am up. Is that amount of fourth dimension switched off perfectly fine for boilers?

Hi Hedyl,

I'm every bit curious as to why you prefer doing and then??

There is no existent harm per say although with the ability supply to the banality/combi off, ( is that what you lot mean by off ? ), whatever rubber part like frost prevention will be disabled and the electric programmer if fitted.

Turning on and off electronics tin affect the life of the parts as they cool downward and warm up so the principal board could and i say could dice a little scrap faster than if it was left on, manifestly build quality and some luck could meet your boiler last the adjacent 100 years.

Turning on and off electronics tin affect the life of the parts as they absurd downward and warm up then the primary board could and i say could dice a little fleck faster than if it was left on, obviously build quality and some luck could meet your boiler concluding the next 100 years.

Isn't it a bit costly to not unplug electrical appliances when not using them?

How-do-you-do Hedyl,

I'm equally curious as to why you prefer doing so??

In that location is no existent harm per say although with the power supply to the boiler/combi off, ( is that what yous mean by off ? ), any safety function like frost prevention will exist disabled and the electrical programmer if fitted.

To be honest just to give the banality a rest.

Turning on and off electronics tin can affect the life of the parts as they cool downwards and warm up and so the main lath could and i say could die a little bit faster than if it was left on, manifestly build quality and some luck could run across your banality concluding the side by side 100 years.

Isn't it a bit costly to not unplug electrical appliances when not using them?

Its a chip of you will salve 1p a twenty-four hours over 3 years versus having to spend a skillful few hundred quid on a new lath and the hassle of getting it sorted out when you least need it and in the big It circles you don't power stuff downward unless it important and they have a lot bigger bills than you or me.

Hi guys,

I am merely curious whether turning the boiler off before bed is okay to practise? I don't know if that affects information technology anyhow, only I prefer to plough it off before bed and and then dorsum on in the morning time when I am upward. Is that corporeality of time switched off perfectly fine for boilers?

Hi Hedyl,

I'm as curious as to why you prefer doing and so??

There is no real harm per say although with the power supply to the boiler/combi off, ( is that what you mean past off ? ), any rubber function like frost prevention will be disabled and the electric programmer if fitted.

To be honest only to requite the boiler a rest.

Hi,

To exist frank, information technology's at rest most of the solar day until y'all employ it and save for my caveats above, y'all won't do information technology any harm turning information technology off.

Turning on and off electronics can affect the life of the parts as they cool down and warm upwardly so the master lath could and i say could dice a little bit faster than if it was left on, plainly build quality and some luck could see your boiler last the next 100 years.

Isn't it a chip costly to non unplug electrical appliances when not using them?

That depends on the appliance. A modern banality that is on but non actively working (as would be typical overnight) is only drawing plenty power to operate a relatively pocket-size and uncomplicated circuit board and perhaps a couple of LEDs. Probably less than one watt an 60 minutes. In today's prices that's about 0.017p an hour or a flake less than one-half a pence a day or 15p a month and that's probably overstating information technology. In fact nigh all modern appliances consume less than 1w in standby. Often a lot less.

About the just exceptions to this are older DVRs and Sky Boxes of all ages. Broadband modems and routers can also consume quite a lot of ability when idle. In their example they are doing useful work then aren't actually idle but if you know y'all're not going to be accessing the internet overnight yous tin switch those off and probably save 20p a nighttime. Some people volition warn that switching a broadband modem off tin cause issues with the line but that's only the example if you switch it on and off several times in ane 60 minutes.

Hello Hedyl,

I'g as curious as to why you lot adopt doing so??

At that place is no real damage per say although with the power supply to the boiler/combi off, ( is that what you hateful past off ? ), whatsoever safety office similar frost prevention will be disabled and the electric developer if fitted.

To exist honest just to give the boiler a rest.

Good lord. I bet you switch the wipers off when you get nether a bridge.

Turning on and off electronics can affect the life of the parts as they cool down and warm up so the main board could and i say could die a little bit faster than if information technology was left on, obviously build quality and some luck could see your boiler final the next 100 years.

That depends on the apparatus. A modern boiler that is on only not actively working (as would be typical overnight) is only drawing enough power to operate a relatively small and simple excursion board and perhaps a couple of LEDs. Probably less than 1 watt an hour. In today's prices that's almost 0.017p an 60 minutes or a flake less than half a pence a mean solar day or 15p a calendar month and that'southward probably overstating it. In fact virtually all modern appliances swallow less than 1w in standby. Often a lot less.

Typo alert, "1 watt an hour" doesn't make whatever sense as watt is a unit of power, I know you lot know this and you either mean "one watt" or "ane watt hour per hr" (same thing) I just indicate this out to help anyone who doesn't know.

I turn mine off at night and also for the summertime mths.

I observe the dissonance of information technology firing upwards all the time when I'm not using it a hurting and noticeable and information technology does use money, might not be a huge corporeality simply its money I tin spend on something else.

Hi guys,

My Heating and D H W goes off on Developer at 21-30 and dorsum on at 5am (early riser). If and when there is a ability cut, my Programmer has an inbuilt bombardment backup. Of course Frost Protection is non-existent in the event of ability cutting.

I don't know if that affects information technology anyhow, but I prefer to plow it off before bed and and then back on in the forenoon when I am up.

Hi Hedyl,

I'm as curious equally to why yous prefer doing so??

Hello Hut,

I had more than in mind the boilers congenital in standard mechanical/digital programmer.

I can't understand the OP reasoning doing and so but that is the OPs option.

I have a client, who every night, for years switches off via her consumer unit, cuts all power have to her FF, boiler and lights.

I turn mine off at night and also for the summer mths.

I find the noise of information technology firing up all the time when I'm not using information technology a pain and noticeable and it does use money, might not be a huge amount merely its coin I tin spend on something else.

Um..if the banality is firing upward it must considering something (either the hot water or the heating) are calling for it. That's like you maxim you switch your kettle off because you lot don't like the noise it makes.

If your banality is coming on 'randomly' in summer and so I assume it's a arrangement with a separate storage tank. In that location should exist a timer control somewhere where y'all can tell it when information technology should reheat the tank contents. Most people have it fix to early hours in the morning and again mid-evening. Households with kids might also have it heating water around mid-twenty-four hour period simply probably but needed if people are going to exist running a bath or a shower in the afternoon(*). A properly insulated tank should continue h2o hot enough for at least 12 hours unless someone draws off a large corporeality.

If you accept a room thermostat there's no need to plow the heating off in summer either. The room thermostat acts by turning the heating on and off anyhow so as long as the room is above the set temperature the heating is off and non consuming any gas.

(*)I call up mine is 0500 UTC(**) for half an hour and 1800 UTC for another half an 60 minutes.
(**)Because its clock doesn't have automated daylight saving and I can't exist bothered to change it

I turn mine off at night and too for the summer mths.

I detect the noise of information technology firing up all the time when I'm non using it a pain and noticeable and it does use coin, might not exist a huge amount simply its money I can spend on something else.

Um..if the boiler is firing up it must because something (either the hot water or the heating) are calling for it. That'due south like you proverb you switch your kettle off because you don't like the noise it makes.

If your banality is coming on 'randomly' in summer then I assume it'due south a system with a separate storage tank. There should be a timer command somewhere where you lot can tell it when it should reheat the tank contents. Well-nigh people take it set to early hours in the morning and again mid-evening. Households with kids might as well accept it heating water around mid-day merely probably but needed if people are going to exist running a bath or a shower in the afternoon(*). A properly insulated tank should keep water hot plenty for at least 12 hours unless someone draws off a large amount.

If y'all take a room thermostat there's no need to plough the heating off in summer either. The room thermostat acts by turning the heating on and off anyhow and then as long as the room is above the gear up temperature the heating is off and not consuming any gas.

(*)I call up mine is 0500 UTC(**) for half an 60 minutes and 1800 UTC for another half an hour.
(**)Because its clock doesn't have automated daylight saving and I tin can't be bothered to change it

The combi boiler fires up throughout the day and nighttime without me turning on a tap and with the heating turned off.

Nosotros turn ours off every night, it costs less and then if we leave it on too (you tin come across information technology on the smart reader).

I turn mine off at dark and also for the summer mths.

I detect the noise of it firing up all the time when I'm not using it a pain and noticeable and it does use coin, might non be a huge amount simply its money I can spend on something else.

If your boiler is coming on 'randomly' in summer then I assume it's a organization with a carve up storage tank. There should be a timer command somewhere where you can tell information technology when it should reheat the tank contents. Virtually people take it set to early on hours in the morning and once more mid-evening. Households with kids might as well have it heating water around mid-day but probably only needed if people are going to be running a bath or a shower in the afternoon(*). A properly insulated tank should keep water hot enough for at least 12 hours unless someone draws off a large amount.

If you have a room thermostat in that location's no demand to plough the heating off in summertime either. The room thermostat acts by turning the heating on and off anyhow so every bit long as the room is in a higher place the fix temperature the heating is off and not consuming any gas.

(*)I think mine is 0500 UTC(**) for half an hour and 1800 UTC for another half an hour.
(**)Because its clock doesn't take automatic daylight saving and I tin can't be bothered to change it

The combi boiler fires up throughout the twenty-four hour period and night without me turning on a tap and with the heating turned off.

Hi Kizzie,

This continuing short cycling or modulating is either a faulty room stat' thermistor or pressure sensor.

At worst it is a faulty board or gas valve.

I turn mine off at nighttime and also for the summer mths.

I find the noise of it firing up all the time when I'm non using information technology a pain and noticeable and it does utilize money, might not be a huge amount simply its coin I can spend on something else.

Um..if the boiler is firing up it must considering something (either the hot water or the heating) are calling for it. That'south like yous proverb you lot switch your kettle off because y'all don't like the noise it makes.

If your boiler is coming on 'randomly' in summertime so I assume information technology's a system with a separate storage tank. There should be a timer control somewhere where you tin can tell information technology when information technology should reheat the tank contents. Most people have it set to early hours in the morning and again mid-evening. Households with kids might also accept it heating water around mid-day but probably merely needed if people are going to be running a bathroom or a shower in the afternoon(*). A properly insulated tank should continue water hot enough for at least 12 hours unless someone draws off a large corporeality.

If you have a room thermostat there'due south no need to plough the heating off in summer either. The room thermostat acts past turning the heating on and off anyhow so as long as the room is above the prepare temperature the heating is off and not consuming whatsoever gas.

(*)I call back mine is 0500 UTC(**) for half an hour and 1800 UTC for some other one-half an hr.
(**)Because its clock doesn't accept automatic daylight saving and I can't be bothered to change it

The combi boiler fires upward throughout the 24-hour interval and night without me turning on a tap and with the heating turned off.

Hi Kizzie,

This continuing curt cycling or modulating is either a faulty room stat' thermistor or pressure sensor.

At worst it is a faulty lath or gas valve.

All my combi boilers have fired upwards without heating beingness on or a tap being turned on. They have all been serviced once a year and replaced when necessary. an engineer said its to continue water hot in the piping gear up for when you lot turn the hot tap on. Trouble is subsequently a couple of seconds h2o runs cold equally takes ages for hot to come through properly.

So I but have boiler on when I need heating as otherwise, information technology's keeping a tiny bit of water hot for no reason. I rarely utilize the hot water taps

I turn mine off at nighttime and likewise for the summer mths.

I find the noise of it firing upwardly all the time when I'thousand not using it a pain and noticeable and information technology does use money, might not exist a huge amount just its money I can spend on something else.

Um..if the boiler is firing upwardly it must because something (either the hot h2o or the heating) are calling for information technology. That's like yous saying you switch your kettle off because you lot don't like the racket it makes.

If your boiler is coming on 'randomly' in summer then I presume it'south a system with a split up storage tank. There should be a timer control somewhere where y'all tin can tell it when it should reheat the tank contents. Almost people accept it set to early hours in the morning and once again mid-evening. Households with kids might too take it heating water around mid-24-hour interval but probably merely needed if people are going to be running a bath or a shower in the afternoon(*). A properly insulated tank should keep h2o hot enough for at least 12 hours unless someone draws off a big amount.

If you have a room thermostat there'south no need to plough the heating off in summer either. The room thermostat acts by turning the heating on and off anyway so every bit long as the room is to a higher place the set up temperature the heating is off and not consuming whatsoever gas.

(*)I think mine is 0500 UTC(**) for half an hour and 1800 UTC for another one-half an 60 minutes.
(**)Considering its clock doesn't accept automatic daylight saving and I can't exist bothered to change information technology

The combi banality fires up throughout the day and dark without me turning on a tap and with the heating turned off.

Hi Kizzie,

This continuing brusque cycling or modulating is either a faulty room stat' thermistor or pressure sensor.

At worst it is a faulty board or gas valve.

All my combi boilers accept fired upward without heating existence on or a tap existence turned on. They accept all been serviced in one case a year and replaced when necessary. an engineer said its to go along water hot in the pipe ready for when you turn the hot tap on. Problem is after a couple of seconds water runs common cold as takes ages for hot to come through properly.

So I only take banality on when I need heating as otherwise, it's keeping a tiny bit of water hot for no reason. I rarely use the hot water taps

Hullo,

all mod combies modulate or turn on to run the pump or to proceed a hot h2o reserve hot but continually--there is some other issue.

BIB, he/she is wrong.

I was ever told to leave my banality on 24/7, which I do, as it was cheaper to run it that mode because it merely kicks in when you need hot h2o or heating.

I certainly haven't noticed any increase in the amount of money i pay since I've been doing that.

Why Do I Have to Turn My Boiler Off and on Again

Is information technology okay to turn the boiler off completely before bed every night?
