C pump switch on boiler

Neo Researcher · 2020-10-10 11:01:43

I just purchased a new house with a firebird-s 50-90 boiler installed. It has a switch labeled C Pump. I presume meaning circulation pump. Am I right in thinking with this switched on it will also heat the hot water for the taps but with it off will just do the rads? Thank you for your time

Most likely needs to be turned on anytime the burner is on, but it depends on how it's wired and plumbed.
I would always reccommend having it serviced after purchace, no matter what seller said about previous service.

Before booking a service, ask if you get a combustion report printout (not hand written).
