The most common Biasi Garda HE MK2 problems

The faults most likely to send a Biasi Garda HE MK2 into lockout — with plain-English causes, what to check first, estimated repair costs and whether you need a Gas Safe engineer.

This model is discontinued. Parts can be harder to source and expensive. If repair costs are mounting, a new A-rated boiler may be the smarter choice.

02
Lack of burner ignition High Engineer

Your boiler is failing to light the flame needed to produce heat or hot water.

Est. cost
£120-250
Parts
Ignition electrode, Gas valve, PCB
Full guide for Lack of burner ignition
03
Flame detection error High Engineer

Your boiler is failing to light the fuel inside because it cannot detect a flame, causing the system to shut down for safety purposes.

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Biasi shows an Emergency or High severity code
  • The boiler keeps locking out after repeated resets
  • You've tried the DIY checks and the fault hasn't cleared
  • There's visible water leaking from the boiler
  • The flame is yellow or orange instead of blue
