Why does my boiler keep firing up?
Many boiler control systems keep the boiler hot at all times (especially if the boiler is providing domestic hot water as part of its load) and that does have the logical effect that the burner fires on a regular basis, regardless of an actual call for heat, due to "standby losses" (the self-cooling of the hot boiler, requiring more heat to keep it at an elevated temperature so it's "ready to supply hot water as soon as you ask for it."
