Boiler I. D. For high reading on analysers

[Matt0029]

Abit of both really.

Do you know what boiler it is?

 

[Matt0029]

Yes its an alpha he25.

Depends on the appliance, if it’s an open flued boiler it would be I.D. If it’s a fan flue’d room sealed appliance it’s at risk.

Have a look at the GIUSP

Hi Scott,

From what I read

Flueless - ID
Flued - AR

As per GIUSP

Don't know anything about these boilers, but have had high readings from Vaillant Ecotec pro where the condensate hose has fell off (known faulty ones)

Matt, you also need to be looking at the warning notice if you haven't already, he might have classed it incorrectly. However you seem knowledgeable enough to rectify the situation, like you've said check everything over, re-analyse, don't forget to check the air intake.

If you have to strip it you may need a gasket so may be better off taking one with you if you can get hold of one.

I've had some alphas in the past where the flue has turned brittle and cracked.

There was more wrong with the boiler than previously thought, the flue was heavily corroded and I could see the air intake had holes in it from rust. We decided on a new boiler in this instance. Thanks for the assistance.

Will you be fitting or not your job?
