Product Information

Full details

The Navien Oil System Boiler - 21kW - External is designed for larger homes needing reliable central heating and ample hot water, particularly those with more than one bathroom. Its key benefit is an A+ energy rating when paired with three Smart Plus room thermostats, offering superior efficiency and ultra-low NOx emissions thanks to its Blue Flame technology. A potential caveat is that the A+ rating is conditional on specific thermostat usage.

FAQs

What is Blue Flame technology?

Blue Flame technology refers to Navien's advanced combustion system that ensures higher efficiency and produces significantly lower levels of NOx emissions compared to traditional boilers.

How do I achieve the A+ energy rating?

The A+ energy rating is achieved when the boiler is installed and operated with three Navien Smart Plus room thermostats.

Is this boiler suitable for small homes?

This is a system boiler designed for larger homes with higher heating and hot water demands, typically those with more than one bathroom. It may be oversized for smaller properties.

What is HVO compatibility?

HVO compatibility means the boiler can run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, a sustainable biofuel. This offers a greener alternative to traditional heating oil.

Do I need a hot water cylinder?

Yes, as a system boiler, the Navien LCB700 requires an external hot water cylinder to store hot water. The boiler heats the water and the cylinder stores it for use.

What is the maximum flue length?

The boiler supports flue runs of up to 21 meters in both horizontal and vertical configurations, offering considerable flexibility in installation placement.

How often should the boiler be serviced?

For optimal performance, safety, and to maintain warranty, it is recommended to have the boiler serviced annually by a qualified heating engineer.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not firing up

Check the oil supply, ensure the thermostat is calling for heat, and verify the boiler is receiving power. Consult the manual for error codes.

Low hot water temperature or pressure

Check the hot water cylinder thermostat settings, ensure the cylinder is fully heated, and inspect for any leaks. A system imbalance may require professional adjustment.

Noisy operation

Unusual noises could indicate an issue with the pump, fan, or internal components. Schedule a service check with a qualified engineer.

Error code displayed

Consult the Navien LCB700 user manual to identify the specific error code and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps or contact a service engineer.
