Technical description: Boiler status neon
What causes this fault?
This is not a fault; it is simply a status indicator showing that the boiler has received a request for heat and the burner is currently lit. The boiler is functioning exactly as intended to heat your radiators or hot water cylinder. Once the thermostat is satisfied or the timer turns off, this light will go out as the boiler stops firing.
This indicator is most frequently seen during colder months when the heating is programmed to run for longer periods to maintain a comfortable temperature.
DIY fix possible
No action is required as this is a status indicator rather than a fault.Ensure your thermostat is set to the desired temperature.Check that your programmers or timers are set to 'On' if you require heat.
