Boiler cycling
 

I have an oil fired boiler which has been munching away at the oil since we moved into the house recently (200 pounds worth of oil for a month - this is a lot???). I never heard of boiler cycling until recently and I'm not sure how the boiler is cycling but is there any info on how long a boiler should be firing for and if it is cycling too much can it be adjusted ????

Any info much appreciated - have search hi and lo but can't seem to find to much on it.

Ouch - how big is the house - stately home?

The boiler WILL cycle as it will have an on/off thermostat controlling the
burner based on the temperature of the water in the boiler. We need some
useful data such as BTU/hour rating of boiler and whether it is a combi,
conventional flue, balanced flue, when it was last serviced, what the system
controls are.
With this background we can make some contribution.
