I 35 combi

[Gazdon]

Hi to all I'm new to this forum so take it easy on me My plumber has installed an I 35 combi from ideal. I can't seem to find any info on this product and the fact that he has installed many with no issues(so he says) doesn't put my mind at ease .The reason I say this is because he has had no issues until now. The problem is it will fire up but pilot keeps going out and he cannot seem to fix it. He has contacted ideal who can't come out until Tuesday. This is a new boiler. I have told him I want this removed and replaced with a better boiler capable of running 2 bathrooms. Any ideas please. Gazdon

Thanks for the reply. Do you know anything about this boiler? It looks pretty basic compared to what else is available. I don't know anything about boilers after all.

Does it work for heating or hot water?
There is no pilot light!
Post some pictures if you can

Wrong system for two bathrooms unvented cylinder and heat only boiler

also how much did you pay ?

I don't know anything about boilers after all.

No worries, this is where having different people quote and having trust between customer and installer is important. The boiler may be faulty from new or the installer may be at fault only time will tell I`m afraid. Really hope the installer was gas safe registered to carry out the work though.
Sounds like scott_d is on the case.

Here's what I know. As part of a complex extension had all new runs of pipe to the the new boiler. All rads replaced and connected up. When the boiler fires up it ends up displaying L 1

As this is part of a bigger job ( 2 extensions New bathroom upstairs Downstairs wet room) the price for the whole job to my builder who subs out. As my previous boiler a worcester 240 gave up after 22yrs and never let me down until last year. I told my builder exactly what I required and the plumber installed the I combi.

 

[Gazdon]

Yes the plumber is gas safe registered.

Is the I range not an ideal boiler from plumb center. Either way it won't cut the mustard if you have two bathrooms going at the same time.

 

[Gazdon]

Ok this what I asked for. A system capable of supplying 2 bathrooms and running washing machine or running taps with no considerable loss in pressure. Are you saying the I combi will not give me what I want?

A Combi boiler is not designed to run two Hot outlets at the same time pure and simple. Did the builder do a lot of the work and literally just bring in a gas guy at the end of it to sign it off? It sounds like a very poorly specced system. Especially as you were having other works done so a better system couldve been incorporated

 

[Gazdon]

This is an architect led build. Everything from planning right through. The builder is one of the architects preferred builders. The builder has a very small team and brings in the trades. Everything from planning has Been covered or so I thought. This job started end of July and still has at least 5wks remaining.

 

[Riley]

Either way an architect shouldn't really be Specing a boiler A proper heating engineer should've been enlisted to carry out the necessary calculations etc. By the by this is irrelevant as what you have installed isn't fit for purpose

 

[Riley]

The only saving factor here might be do either of your bathrooms have an electric shower in
