Not in modern boilers. In modern boilers the pump is controlled by the
boiler and the boilers determines when the pump needs to run. Basically
as soon as flame is detected, through to burn turned off and remaining
heat removed from the boilers heat exchanger. Very sensible too, why
waste the heat? My boiler also exercises the pump and the fan, if they
haven't had need to run for a while.


Fairly certain mine also modulates the pump speed. Oh - it doesn't have a
thermostat as such. A room temperature sensor. All or nothing is a very
old way of controlling heat.
