FAQs

Is the Glow-worm MicraCom 28kW suitable for large homes?

It is best suited for small to medium-sized homes. Larger properties with multiple bathrooms may require a higher output boiler.

Can I install this boiler myself?

No. By law, all gas boiler installations must be completed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

What does the stainless steel heat exchanger offer?

Stainless steel provides superior resistance to corrosion compared to other materials, significantly extending the life of the heat exchanger.

Where can I find the boiler pressure gauge?

The pressure gauge is integrated into the user-friendly display panel on the front of the unit.

How often should I service the boiler?

It is recommended to have your boiler serviced annually by a professional to ensure safety, efficiency, and to maintain the warranty.

Will this fit in a standard kitchen cupboard?

Yes, the MicraCom is specifically designed with a compact profile to fit inside standard-sized kitchen wall cupboards.

Troubleshooting

Boiler display shows a diagnostic error code

Consult the user manual to identify the specific error code; common codes often relate to low system pressure or temporary ignition failures.

Heating is not reaching the desired temperature

Check that the room thermostat or external programmer is set correctly and ensure the system pressure is within the recommended 1-1.5 bar range.

No hot water from taps

Ensure the boiler is in 'Combi' mode and verify that the gas supply is active and the pilot light is not locked out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely compact dimensions for flexible placement
  • Durable stainless steel heat exchanger ensures longevity
  • Simple interface for easy temperature adjustments
  • Straightforward diagnostic reporting

Cons

  • 28kW capacity may be limited for larger homes with multiple bathrooms
  • Requires professional installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer
  • Compact internal layout can be tight for some maintenance tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations. The MicraCom's cupboard-fit capability requires proper ventilation clearances as specified in the installation manual to prevent overheating. For ongoing care, it is recommended to have the unit serviced annually. Homeowners should regularly check the pressure gauge on the front panel—typically, this should sit between 1.0 and 1.5 bar when the system is cold. If the pressure drops, the system may require topping up via the external filling loop. Always keep the area around the flue terminal clear of obstructions to ensure safe combustion.
