central heating won't turn off

[matt66]

I have a ideal HE24 boiler. Problem is it turns central heating on its own and only way to stop it is to turn boiler off but when I turn it back on, it still puts heating on. Before I have turned boiler off for a few hours and when I have turned it back on, it fixed but now doesn't. Really worried its gonna cost a lot to fix. I don't have much money. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Has the system got 2 port zone valves ?
If so check it not sticking open or micro switch sticking on.

Don't know anything about boilers so couldn't tell you. Would be in the
Manual?

You need an gas safe engineer. Can't be diagnosed on the Internet.

Have a look in your local paper, there are usually firms around that do free estimates - it might not be as costly as you fear.
