Quick Checks Before You Call Anyone

These take 60 seconds and fix a surprising number of “no heating” problems:

1. Check boiler pressure: Aim for 1.0 to 1.5 bar when cold. If it is below 1 bar, top up using our pressure guide.
2. Check power to the boiler and controls: Boiler fused spur on, programmer powered, and no tripped breakers.
3. Thermostat basics: Set the temperature above room temperature. Replace batteries if your thermostat uses them.
4. Programmer settings: Confirm heating and hot water are set to “On” or “Auto” and you are within an active time period.
5. Wireless thermostat or receiver? Check the receiver has power and is showing a normal connection state. If it shows “offline” or looks disconnected, do not keep pressing buttons, call us for safe guidance.
6. Reset once only: If the boiler has a reset button, press it once, then wait 60 seconds. If it faults again, stop and call an engineer.

Common Honeywell Controls Symptoms

These symptoms are often linked to Honeywell thermostats, programmers, receivers (wireless) or motorised valves. If you can tell us what works and what doesn’t, we can usually triage quickly.

Boiler Not Firing (Controls Calling but No Response)

What is happening: The thermostat or programmer is demanding heat, but the boiler is not starting, or it starts then stops.

Common causes: Low pressure, boiler fault code, failed receiver relay, wiring centre issues, zone valve end switch not making, or boiler lockout.

What to try: Check pressure first, then check if the boiler display shows a fault code. If the boiler is in lockout, reset once only. If it does not fire, call an engineer.

Zone Valve and S Plan or Y Plan Issues

What is happening: The programmer and thermostat may be working, but heating or hot water does not flow correctly because a motorised valve is stuck, not travelling fully, or not proving via the end switch.

Common signs: Hot water only, heating only, both on when they should not be, or boiler running but radiators stay cold.

What to do: Zone valves and wiring centres require safe testing. If you suspect a stuck valve or wiring issue, book a diagnosis.

Why These Issues Are Common in London Homes

London properties often have older controls, extensions, and multi zone setups:

• Older wiring: Loose connections and ageing wiring centres can cause intermittent heating control faults.
• Multi zone systems: More valves and controls means more points of failure, especially with older motorised valves.
• Winter demand: During cold snaps, minor control faults become obvious when heating is used constantly.
• System condition: Sludge can reduce circulation, which can look like a control problem when radiators stay cold.

Honeywell Controls and Parts We Commonly Work With

• Room thermostats: wired and wireless (including “offline / not responding” issues)
• Programmers and time controls: heating and hot water channels
• Receivers and relays: wireless receivers and switching faults
• Evohome: multi-zone control systems and receiver issues
• Motorised zone valves: common S plan and Y plan setups
• Cylinder thermostats: hot water temperature control

Fix the Controls First (Usually Cheaper)

Most heating controls, receivers and motorised valves are repairable and far cheaper than replacing a boiler. If your boiler is 10 to 15 years old and you are also facing major boiler faults, replacement may be more cost effective.

We give honest advice either way. Read more: Repair or replace? An engineer’s guide.

Boiler Servicing

Annual servicing keeps your boiler running efficiently and helps reduce winter breakdowns. Book your boiler service.

Renting? Landlords: Check This

Tenants: Your landlord is usually responsible for boiler repairs. Contact them first and keep written records, especially if you have no heating or hot water.

Landlords: Stay compliant with our Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) service. See our full London landlord checklist covering gas safety, EPCs, and boiler maintenance.
