Low DIY-safe

What to check first

  1. Press the 'Reset' button to return the boiler to its normal operating display
  2. Check if your heating and hot water are functioning as normal
  3. Monitor the display to see if a specific error code (e.g., EA or F7) appears alongside this code

40

Your boiler is displaying a status code indicating its current operational output level rather than a fault, meaning the system is likely functioning normally.

Low DIY-safe £100-£200

What to check first

  1. Check if the display is flashing or solid; if solid, the boiler is operating normally.
  2. Observe if the boiler proceeds to heat the system after a few moments.
  3. If the code persists and the boiler fails to fire, try pressing the Reset button once.

A1

Your boiler has detected that there is not enough water circulating inside it, which may prevent your heating and hot water from working safely.

High DIY-safe £100-250

What to check first

  1. Check your boiler pressure gauge; if it is below 1 bar, your system needs to be re-pressurised.
  2. Locate your external filling loop (usually two small taps or a braided hose under the boiler).
  3. Open the filling taps slowly to allow water into the system until the gauge reaches 1.5 bar, then ensure they are turned fully off.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Circulation pump
  • Pressure gauge
  • Filling loop
