Icos Isar.....

[quality]

How many are left ?
I still have around 20 + on my books still going strong
I replaced a flow thermistor on an Icos today, that I fitted 9 years ago and its the first time its failed.
I also condemned an gloworm hideaway amongst the other rubbish ive had this week

Shedloads of Icos and Isar on my patch which are still working fine!

 

[townfanjon]

I can only say the same, I have a few icos's and TBH think they are ok.

Oh my god that's started it

 

[Ermintrude]

I've estimated still £1200000 worth of combi swaps left in north east thanks to staywarm and boiler svrappage

that puts me in the small self employed bracket then

 

[zeebeedee]

Shed loads on my patch, I've lost count of how many heat ex's I've changed

 

[GrahamM]

Was the boiler of choice for British/Scottish gas at it's launch so thousand upon thousand fitted. All parts available as far as I am aware so will be around for some time yet.

A guy from BG was talking about the m series to me this morning. Saying after 20,000 units they had problems, then again at 30,00 and by 40,000 units, BG withdrew their ties with Ideal. That's how pants they were.

The design spec was so that they fit in a kitchen cupboard. The vessel they fitted was too small, the pcb was replaced by ideal several times, was rubbish from the start.

1000s fitted in newish builds around here

 

[arran197]

It's going to be years until they've all set fire to themselves and left the customer with nothing but a melted mess on the kitchen work top. Loads on social housing, I know of several we look after that fitted nothing but isar and icos.

resurrecting this thread Ive been to 2 this week both in perfect working order (icos)

 

[armourer]

I work on them daily. I would estimate still about 800 - 1000 on patch but they are all about 13 to 14 years old now so will be replaced when they reach 15 years old.

I thought the PCB was no longer being produced, or am I getting confused with suprimas

 

[Aquazone]

Baxi Potterton would probably go under if they stopped making Suprima boards!! Must change 1 a week round here!!!

You can still get isar/Icos pcb's in fact they have just changed from V9 to V10 boards.

 

[newcastle phill]

Still a few round here. The council used to fit them.
I dont mind isars. Straight forward enough.

Changed motor and diverter cartridge on one Friday, so easy
