Measures water temperature for modulation and protection. Supplied and professionally installed by licensed gas fitters — never sold for DIY.
What the Supply / Return Thermistor Does
Supply and return thermistors tell the control the water temperature entering and leaving the boiler, enabling modulation and protecting against overheating. A drifting thermistor causes wrong temperatures, short-cycling, or false faults.
These temperature sensors feed the control board real-time water temperatures so it can modulate the burner, manage the heat exchanger, and trip protection if temperatures climb.
We supply and fit the supply / return thermistor as part of a complete boiler repair or new installation, and inspect it during annual maintenance for homes across Greater Vancouver.
