Long time follower - first time question
I have installed an Evohome system to replace a standard BG installed Y plan single thermostat system and having read many of the threads on this forum appear to have avoided many of the problems others have experienced and sought answers to through here. I have however pne apparent problem, when the central heating reaches the locally set temp there is a what appears to be an abrupt shut down I.e. there is a bang which can he heard through the pipework. Feels like the pump is being stopped abruptly. Any ideas if this is something which can be avoided through any setting? When I originally setup the system with CH only (no HW control) I think there was a pump overrun setting for the boiler control, but with the the HW control added there is no longer that setting.
The system comprises an evohome based controller, the hot-water pack, 12 HR92s contolling 11 different rooms, and 2 bathrooms with the original TRVs left on so they come on whenever some part of the house is being heated. To keep the wiring simple and avoid undoing what is already there, I used the terminations from the old programmer to feed the BDR91s I.e. Live and Neutral feed both BDR91's and the CH on feeds the Heating BDR91 and the HW on and HW off feed the HW BDR91. The old thermostat is then left high (i.e. always on) and the odl HW tank thermostat remains in the airing cupboard but will not reach HW temp and so is always calling for heat when asked by the Evohome. This was primarily to allow me to go back to the old system if I wanted.
Any thoughts anyone?
Were it not for the shutdown noise, I'd say it was the best system I've come across, so flexible and even the wife thinks it's a brilliant gadget.
P.S. The knowledge sharing though this forum has been an exceptional help
