Are the radiator warm ? What type radiation in the home and what is the temperture of the boiler? Zone valves ? Does the circulator run when a call for heat ?

    Delay in Heating

    The thermostat is set for 70 degrees, but it is reading a room temp of 64 and the boiler is not running. The boiler does not turn on until hours later and runs fine for a while. I replaced the thermostat, but I am still having the same problem. I have called two plumbers and all they do is drain the system. Any idea why there is a delay in heating?

    make and model of boiler

    Some controls go into a lockout that auto resets after 5 failed ignition attempts.

    Make and model can help us help you better.

    it may be a minor Glitch in the control strategy....

    then again there may be some other minor technicalities that need to be addressed.

    sometimes a picture helps....not always is there an easy fix to the glitch.
