    Hi folks, my Combi gas boiler fires up for no reason all the time when there is no hot tap running and the heating is off. The Other half says it's just the fan, but I am convinced it's burning gas as our bills are so high. (It's a Combi boiler, no copper tank,mains fed). Do you guys have any info on this?

    No, it's heats water on demand.

    It is an Ariston Combi Boiler. (I don't have the model to hand)

    Yep, they do have a hot water pre heat so the boiler can fire on its own for a minute or two to reduce the time your waiting for hot water, ask the service engineer to check for this and show you how to turn it off and on by pressing the comfort button.

    How much higher than you would expect are your gas bills?
    What is the frame of reference to say: as our bills are so high.
