The most common Remeha Avanta problems

The faults most likely to send a Remeha Avanta 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.

The 6 most common faults

01
é10 High DIY-safe

Your boiler is struggling to push water around the system, usually because the pressure is too low or air is trapped inside the pipes.

What to try first

Check your boiler's pressure gauge and ensure it reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.If the pressure is low, use the filling loop to top it up to the correct level.Bleed your radiators starting from the one furthest away to remove any trapped air.

02
07 High DIY-safe

Your boiler has detected that the water level inside the system is too low or that the internal pump is unable to circulate water effectively.

What to try first

Check your boiler pressure gauge; if it is below 1 bar, use the filling loop to top up the system to 1.5 barOnce pressure is restored, reset the boiler using the reset button on the front panelIf the code persists, try turning the heating dial to maximum to see if it triggers the pump into movement

Call a Gas Safe engineer if…

  • You can smell gas or see signs of a leak
  • The Remeha 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
