ᐅ Control unit for oil heating system in manual operation

Hmm, I don’t see a problem. The burner simply runs continuously when operated manually, consuming more oil as a result. The safety devices should still activate if needed.

It’s like never turning off your car and just letting it run. Obviously, this causes pollution, but you can’t really force him to stop if even the chimney inspector doesn’t raise any concerns.

There is no more risk for you than if the mode switch is set to setback mode.

Is this only about money?

Thank you for the feedback, but I don’t understand who is monitoring whom. Under the Energy Saving Ordinance, boilers must be serviced once a year. Among other things, this includes the required adjustment of the heating circuit, storage charging, and circulation pumps, or fixing issues if necessary. I don’t see this happening with continuous manual operation. Isn’t the maintenance service required to detect and report this? The chimney sweep apparently only measures the values. Good luck.

The thing is, nobody is monitored continuously. Only if the system exceeds the allowed emission levels does the chimney sweep have the authority to shut it down, in the worst case. Usually, however, it results in a repair and a renewed inspection.

I still don’t understand the problem. The original poster is the owner and is complaining about the neighbor’s heating system. At first, I thought it was the semi-detached neighbor sharing the heating, but obviously it’s the neighbor across the street. Then why should they care about any extra costs for that neighbor??? And risks to the family? The exhaust gas values are clearly within limits, and the system is not going to explode. Who other than the chimney sweep could possibly forbid anything here?
