Full details

The Navien Oil Boiler - 36kW - Heat Only is designed for homeowners seeking a highly efficient and environmentally conscious heating solution, especially for properties with multiple bathrooms. Its key benefit is an A+ energy rating, the first in the UK market for oil boilers, combined with ultra-low NOx emissions and smart control integration. A potential caveat for some users might be its classification as a regular (heat-only) boiler, which requires a separate hot water cylinder.

FAQs

What is a heat-only boiler?

A heat-only boiler, also known as a regular boiler, provides central heating but does not heat domestic hot water directly. It requires a separate hot water cylinder to store hot water heated by the boiler.

What does A+ energy rating mean for me?

An A+ energy rating signifies high efficiency, meaning the boiler uses less fuel to produce the same amount of heat. This translates to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact compared to boilers with lower ratings.

How do I use the Navien Smart Plus app?

The Navien Smart Plus app allows you to remotely control your boiler's heating schedule, monitor energy usage, and receive alerts. You'll need to download the app, register your boiler, and connect it to your home Wi-Fi network.

Can I use biofuel like HVO with this boiler?

Yes, the Navien LCB700 Blue Flame is HVO compatible, meaning it can run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, a more sustainable alternative to traditional heating oil.

What is the warranty period for this boiler?

Warranty details can vary, but typically Navien boilers come with a manufacturer's warranty. It is advisable to check the specific warranty terms and conditions provided with your product or contact Navien customer support for exact details.

How often does this boiler need servicing?

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

What is Geofencing?

Geofencing is a smart feature that uses your smartphone's location to automatically adjust your home's heating. For example, it can turn down the heat when you leave home and start warming it up before you arrive, saving energy without compromising comfort.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not firing up

Check the oil supply and ensure the tank is not empty. Verify electrical power is connected to the unit and the thermostat is set correctly. Consult a qualified engineer if the issue persists.

Low hot water pressure or temperature

Ensure the hot water cylinder is functioning correctly and has sufficient hot water. Check for any blockages in the hot water pipes. The boiler itself may require servicing if it's not heating the water sufficiently.

Smart control app not connecting

Verify your home Wi-Fi is working and the boiler has a strong signal. Restart the boiler and your router. Ensure the app is updated to the latest version.

Boiler making unusual noises

Strange noises can indicate various issues, such as air in the system or component wear. It is recommended to contact a qualified heating engineer for diagnosis and repair.

  • Advanced smart control features for remote management and optimized use.
  • Designed for straightforward installation with user-friendly components.
  • HVO compatibility supports future sustainable fuel options.

Cons

  • As a heat-only boiler, it requires a separate hot water cylinder, increasing installation complexity and space requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer. The Navien LCB700 Blue Flame features a combined PRV/condensate drain and flexible pipework options to facilitate easier installation. Ensure the boiler is sited in a suitable location with adequate ventilation and access for maintenance.

Compatibility:

This boiler is compatible with standard heating systems that utilize a separate hot water cylinder. It supports smart technology integration, including the Navien Smart Plus app, which requires a compatible smartphone and home Wi-Fi network. The boiler is also HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) compatible, allowing for a cleaner burning fuel alternative.

Care:

Regular maintenance by a qualified professional is essential for optimal performance and longevity. This typically includes annual servicing, checking all components, and cleaning the heat exchanger. Users should ensure any associated smart devices (like thermostats) are kept charged and connected to Wi-Fi. Cleaning the exterior of the unit can be done with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
