Product Information

Full details

The Navien 28kW Oil Combi Boiler is designed for homeowners seeking an efficient and powerful heating and hot water solution without a separate cylinder. Its key benefit is an A+ energy rating (when installed with 3 Smart Plus room thermostats), offering significant energy savings. A potential caveat is that the optimal energy rating requires specific thermostat integration.

FAQs

What is HVO compatibility?

HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, a biofuel that can be used as a direct replacement for, or blended with, traditional heating oil. It offers a more sustainable and cleaner-burning alternative.

Do I need a hot water cylinder with this combi boiler?

No, a combi boiler, by definition, provides both central heating and hot water on demand without the need for a separate hot water storage cylinder.

How can I achieve the A+ energy rating?

The A+ energy rating is achieved when the boiler is installed with 3 Navien Smart Plus room thermostats and is configured correctly.

What is the maximum flue length?

The Navien LCB700 Blue Flame boiler supports flue venting up to 21 meters in both horizontal and vertical configurations.

Is this boiler suitable for larger homes?

With a 28kW output, this combi boiler is suitable for a wide range of properties, including larger homes, providing ample heating and hot water capacity.

What are the benefits of Blue Flame technology?

Blue Flame technology offers superior combustion efficiency and significantly reduces NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) emissions, contributing to better air quality and a lower environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not firing up

Check the main power supply and ensure the system is switched on. Verify that there is sufficient oil in the tank. Inspect for any error codes displayed on the control panel and consult the user manual.

Insufficient hot water supply

Ensure the hot water demand does not exceed the boiler's 28kW output. Check if the boiler is in 'heating only' mode. If the issue persists, a service check may be required to inspect the heat exchanger and internal components.

Low heating output

Verify that the central heating circuit is properly functioning and that radiators are not airlocked. Check thermostat settings and ensure they are calling for heat. System pressure should be within the recommended range.

Error codes displayed

Refer to the Navien LCB700 user manual for a specific breakdown of error codes and their corresponding troubleshooting steps. Contact a qualified engineer if the issue cannot be resolved using the manual's guidance.
