What causes the Glow-worm High neon light fault?

This occurs when the boiler is commanded to run at its highest heat output but the electrical signal fails to register. The most common reason is a mechanical failure in the high/low switch or a break in the wiring that prevents the system from confirming the flame level. This results in the boiler being unable to modulate its power correctly to meet the demands of your heating system.

This issue is often more noticeable during the first cold spell of autumn when the boiler is required to switch from low-power water heating to high-power central heating.

Typical repair cost £90-180 (including labour)
