VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. If there a frost stat on the system? I would be interested as to where it is wired into?
It is quite simple - the room thermostat turns on the pump, which drains the thermal store (boilermate) of heat, which in turn fires up the boiler and that pump to replenish it. The first thing I would check is the room thermostat to make sure it is disconnecting power when off.
