Your boiler is currently set to summer mode, which means it is only providing hot water and has intentionally ignored the request for central heating.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

Technical description

No heat demand summer operating mode

What causes this fault?

This occurs because the 'Summer Mode' setting has been activated on your boiler, which tells the system to only heat your tap water and skip the radiators. It is usually caused by a manual setting change or a smart thermostat transition intended to save energy during warmer months. The boiler is performing exactly as instructed, so it isn't broken; it is simply prioritising hot water over heating.

This status is most frequently seen in spring and summer when homeowners intentionally deactivate their heating to reduce energy bills.

DIY fix possible

Locate the radiator temperature dial or button on the boiler control panel.Turn the dial clockwise or adjust the setting to increase the target heating temperature.Ensure your wall thermostat or heating programmer is also set to 'On' or a high temperature.
