FAQs

Is this boiler suitable for a large home?

The 28kW output is generally suitable for medium to large homes. However, for homes with very high hot water demand (e.g., multiple bathrooms used simultaneously), it's advisable to consult with an installer to confirm suitability.

What is Blue Flame technology?

Blue Flame technology refers to an advanced combustion process that ensures a cleaner and more efficient burn, resulting in higher energy efficiency and significantly reduced harmful emissions (ultra-low NOx).

Can I install this boiler indoors?

No, the Navien LCB700 Blue Flame range is specifically designed as an external boiler and must be installed in a suitable outdoor location.

What does HVO compatible mean?

HVO compatible means the boiler can be fueled by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional heating oil, reducing the carbon footprint of your heating.

How long is the warranty period?

Warranty details can vary. Please refer to the official Navien warranty documentation or consult your installer for specific terms and conditions applicable to your purchase.

What is the maximum flue length?

The Navien LCB700 supports flue venting up to a maximum of 21 meters, offering flexibility in siting the boiler.

Do I need a hot water cylinder with this boiler?

No, as a combi (combination) boiler, the Navien LCB700 provides both central heating and hot water directly, eliminating the need for a separate hot water cylinder.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not firing up

Check the oil supply, ensure the thermostat is calling for heat, and verify electrical connections. If the issue persists, a professional inspection may be required.

Insufficient hot water temperature

Ensure the boiler is adequately sized for demand. Check for potential blockages in the hot water system or the boiler's heat exchanger. Limit simultaneous high-demand hot water usage.

Error codes displayed

Consult the Navien LCB700 user manual for a specific list of error codes and their corresponding troubleshooting steps. Contact a qualified engineer if the code indicates a serious fault.

Noisy operation

Listen to the type of noise (e.g., banging, whistling). Some noises can indicate air in the system, a potential blockage, or issues with the fan or pump. Professional diagnosis is recommended.
