Why is my central heating permanently on even when set to 'off' or 'timer?!!.The only way to switch it off is to set the boiler to 'reset'.

Have you got a frost-stat in the loft?


If you have it may be set wrong and is bringing on the system at too high a temperature.


The idea is to switch on the system, overriding the room stat, to prevent the pipes in the loft freezing up at times when the heating is otherwise shut down.

A stuck zone valve actuator is a possible reason - hasn't returned to the off position (usually a mechanical process) and therefore the boiler circuit is still energised. Try finding a manual override lever on the zone valve and move it to the "off" or "closed" position.
