Overheating and scalding outlets
Temperatures above setpoint mean the control valve is not closing down. Either the actuator has failed in the open position, the sensor is reading low and calling for more heat than needed, or the valve is passing on a damaged seat. This is a safety matter in any property, and a compliance matter in blocks where scald risk is assessed, so we treat it as urgent and verify the outlet temperature after repair.
- Actuator failed or stuck open
- DHW sensor reading low or disconnected
- Control valve passing on a worn seat
- Setpoint configured too high
- Scald risk verified and recorded after repair
