When the room thermostat indicates that the temperature has fallen below a specified point, the boiler fires up, allowing heat to be injected into the main heating system.
Furthermore, once you reach the thermostat’s specified target temperature, the boiler will turn off automatically.
If you are in need of immediate hot water (for example, for showering), the boiler will bypass the heat exchanger and draw water directly from the mains, heating it instantly. This is because most Combi boilers have a built in priority switching device,
