FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Navien LCB 700 LS boiler?

Its primary benefit is the exceptional A+ energy rating, leading to lower fuel consumption and costs, achieved through advanced Blue Flame technology and smart controls.

Is this boiler suitable for smaller homes?

This 28kW system boiler is best suited for larger homes with higher heating and hot water demands, particularly those with more than one bathroom. For smaller homes, a lower-kW model might be more appropriate.

What does 'HVO compatible' mean?

HVO compatibility means the boiler can run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, a biofuel that is a more sustainable alternative to traditional heating oil. This makes the boiler future-proof.

Do I need a hot water cylinder with this boiler?

Yes, as a system boiler, the Navien LCB 700 LS requires a separate hot water cylinder to store domestic hot water.

How can I achieve the A+ energy rating?

The A+ energy rating is achieved when the boiler is installed with three Navien Smart Plus room thermostats and properly configured for optimal performance.

What kind of maintenance does this boiler require?

Regular annual servicing by a qualified heating engineer is recommended to maintain efficiency, safety, and the boiler's lifespan. The stainless steel heat exchangers require minimal direct maintenance but benefit from the overall system being kept in good order.

Can I install this boiler myself?

No, installation of any gas or oil boiler, including the Navien LCB 700 LS, must be carried out by a qualified and certified heating engineer to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not firing up

Check the oil supply and ensure the tank is not empty. Verify the mains electricity supply to the boiler. Check for any error codes displayed on the control panel and consult the user manual.

Insufficient hot water or heating

Ensure the hot water cylinder is adequately sized and functioning correctly. Check the system pressure. Verify thermostat settings and ensure they are calling for heat. Inspect for any blockages in the system or radiators.

Unusual noises from the boiler

Gurgling or banging noises can indicate air in the system; bleeding radiators may help. Hissing sounds could relate to the expansion vessel or pump. Contact a qualified engineer if noises persist.

Error code displayed

Note the specific error code and consult the Navien LCB 700 LS user manual for the corresponding fault diagnosis and recommended action. Some codes may require a service engineer.
