How do you fix the C on an ideal boiler?

‘C’ means the boiler has a central heating demand. This can be resolved by pressing reset on the front of the boiler — it won’t require turning the boiler off at the wall.

What does C mean on Logic Combi 24 boiler?

central heating demand
C means that the boiler has a central heating demand. In a combined boiler, you have to check that the temperature of the hot water is lit at the front and that the insulation valve under the boiler in the cold pipe is open.

Why is my boiler flashing C?

When your boiler displays a ‘C’ on the boiler screen and the burner light is also flashing, this means your boiler has reached the programmed temperature. If your house has not met the set temperature and your boiler is showing this it could be caused by a circulation problem in the system.

Why is my boiler flashing LF?

LF: Ignition fault Your boiler may have ‘locked out’ as a safety precaution. The cause of this will need to be addressed. Check that other gas appliances in your home are working, if so, we recommend that you then reset your boiler.

Why is the red light flashing on my ideal boiler?

Usually, when modern boilers need resetting they will display a fault code or begin to flash a red or green light. These signals indicate that your boiler senses a problem, which is why it has stopped working and needs to be reset.

When does a boiler go into condensing mode?

Condensing boilers need to operate at lower temperatures to non-condensing boilers in order for the heat to turn back into water before it leaves the flue via the second heat exchanger. When the temperature of the water – as it returns to the boiler – is less than 54 degrees C, the boiler will run in what is known as ‘condensing mode’.

Are there any problems with the ideal boiler?

The biggest problems and faults came up with their system and combi boilers, going back around 15 – 18 years ago. Nowadays, their boilers are fairly reliable with much better guarantees. So, if your old Ideal boiler is giving you hassle, try some of the following tips…

What should the output temperature of a combi boiler be?

For combi boilers, the recommended output temperature for the radiators is 75 °C and for the water it’s 60 °C. You shouldn’t need to adjust these output temperatures as you may alter the boiler’s efficiency. The higher this temperature is set, the quicker your boiler will be able to heat your home.

Which is the ideal temperature for a boiler?

The LCD display indications provide help in the diagnosis of fault finding. All Ideal combination boilers are designed to heat up water directly from the main water supply at your home. Water goes through the boiler and it being heated up, produce goal is 35°C temperature rise in comparisment to water inlet temperature and between 35-85 degrees.

How is a condensing boiler different from a regular boiler?

Condensing Boiler. This is a design of boiler which can have an increased efficiency over the more traditional boiler. The efficiency of a typical non-condensing boiler is around 75%, whereas with condensing boilers it can be over 87%. This increased efficiency is due to the extraction of heat from the otherwise wasted flue gases.

Is there statistical evidence for a condensing boiler?

Statistical evidence is not yet available since condensing boilers with aluminium heat exchangers have not been in use long enough. The Building Research Establishment, which is the UK’s major research body for the building industry, produced a leaflet on domestic condensing boilers. According to the Building Research Establishment:

What is the efficiency of a non condensing boiler?

The efficiency of a typical non-condensing boiler is around 75%, whereas with condensing boilers it can be over 87%. This increased efficiency is due to the extraction of heat from the otherwise wasted flue gases. Most boilers have a single combustion chamber enclosed by the waterways of the heat exchanger through which the hot gases can pass.
