FAQs
What is a 'heat only' boiler?
A heat-only boiler (also known as a regular or conventional boiler) only provides central heating. It heats water that is then stored in a separate hot water cylinder. It does not heat water on demand like a combi boiler.
Does this boiler come with a hot water cylinder?
No, the Baxi 424 Heat Only Boiler is a heat-only boiler and does not include a hot water cylinder. A compatible cylinder must be purchased separately.
Can this boiler be installed in a kitchen cupboard?
Yes, its compact dimensions and modern design make it suitable for installation in a standard kitchen cupboard, provided all ventilation and safety regulations are met.
What is the warranty period?
The Baxi 424 Heat Only Boiler comes with a 5-year warranty, subject to terms and conditions, typically including annual servicing.
How do I reset the boiler if it locks out?
Refer to your boiler's manual for specific reset instructions. Often, there is a reset button on the boiler itself. If the lockout persists, contact a qualified heating engineer.
What is the minimum clearance required for installation?
Specific clearance requirements vary based on flue type and configuration. Always refer to the Baxi installation manual for precise measurements to ensure safe operation and servicing access.
Do I need a permanent live connection for this boiler?
No, this boiler does not require a permanent live connection, which can simplify installation.
Troubleshooting
Boiler not firing up.
Check the room thermostat is set correctly and powered. Ensure the boiler's pressure is within the recommended range (typically 1-1.5 bar when cold). Verify the main power switch is on.
No hot water.
Confirm the hot water cylinder thermostat is set correctly. Check the motorised valve for the hot water circuit is functioning. Ensure the boiler is calling for heat.
Low heating output.
Bleed radiators to remove air. Check the boiler pressure. Ensure the programmer or timer is set correctly for heating. Inspect for any blockages in the system.
Boiler making unusual noises.
Gurgling or banging noises may indicate air in the system; bleed radiators. Hissing could be related to pressure or water flow. Unusual noises should be reported to a qualified engineer.
