    Okay my boiler is not over firing but I've heard this term mentioned a couple of times recently. Can anyone explain what it means exactly?

    Do you mean short cycling?

    Over firing is the term I heard and I've no idea what it means. Google not throwing much up either.

    Over firing means exactly what it says.
    When a boiler over fires the burner is producing more heat than the boiler can efficiently use.
    for example a 70,000/90,000btu boiler fitted with a burner set for 120,000 btu would be said to be over firing.
