Your boiler is currently running at a restricted low-power setting designed for testing purposes, which may prevent it from heating your home or water effectively.

Medium Engineer only £90-180

Parts commonly replaced

  • PCB Board
  • Control Panel Assembly
01

Your boiler has failed to light or maintain a flame, which means it has locked itself out to prevent fuel from building up.

High DIY-safe £100-£350

What to check first

  1. Check if other gas appliances (like a cooker) are working to confirm gas is reaching the property
  2. Turn the selector switch to the 'R' (Reset) position for a few seconds and then back to the 'ON' position
  3. Ensure your gas meter has credit if you are on a pre-payment meter

Parts commonly replaced

  • Ignition Electrode
  • Gas Valve
  • PCB (Printed Circuit Board)

02

Your boiler has stopped working because it has gotten too hot or the water is not circulating through the system correctly.

High DIY-safe £120-£350

What to check first

  1. Wait for the boiler to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Check that all radiator valves and the flow/return valves under the boiler are fully open.
  3. Press the 'Reset' button on the front control panel to restart the unit.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation Pump
  • Overheat Thermostat
  • Limit Thermistor

04

Your boiler has detected that the water pressure is too low for it to operate safely, which is usually caused by a small leak or air in the system.

High DIY-safe £60-140

What to check first

  1. Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; it should ideally be between 1 and 1.5 bar.
  2. Locate the external filling loop (the silver flexible hose) underneath or near the boiler.
  3. Slowly open the valves on the filling loop until you hear water entering and the needle reaches 1.5 bar, then close them tightly.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Filling loop
  • Pressure sensor
  • Expansion vessel recharge

05

Your boiler has lost its connection with the external remote controller, meaning they are unable to talk to each other to manage your heating.

High DIY-safe £90-250

What to check first

  1. Check if the batteries in your RC05 remote control unit need replacing
  2. Ensure the remote control is within range of the boiler and has not been moved
  3. Turn the boiler power off and back on again to try and reset the connection

Parts commonly replaced

  • RC05 Remote Control
  • Receiver PCB
  • Wiring harness
