The Boiler/heating Megathread- all boiler & heating queries in here please

We have a Stelrad Ideal Classic RS40 boiler which I think is roughly 17 years old. Last night it made a loud series of clicking noises which startled me, and I promptly switched the CH and HW off. After turning it on again, I could hear the pump moving the water around, but the boiler wasn't firing to heat up the water, for both CH and HW.

 

My question is, is this it for this boiler and do I need to get a new one, or can it be fixed? I have been thinking of replacing it with something, but I clueless about what to get. I've read some of the recent replies about the Logic+, how much are they roughly and what is a reasonable level of cost to have the boiler replaced including labour?

 

I'm in Doncaster. Many thanks in advanced for your help.

 

Additional Info, the CH and HW is driven by a Grundfos pump with a separate recently fitted three way valve. The controls is a Lifestyle LP241 timer panel and a dial thermostat in the hallway. There are 13 radiators and one hot water cylinder with a immersion heater installed.

Hi.

Bit too far to travel from sheffield to have a look at your existing boiler and give you a diagnosis. If you follow this link it will give you an idea on fixed price replacement for your boiler. http://low-cost-boilers.com/heating/system-boilers.

 

Hope this helps.

would appreciate feedback on our website as its still being developed.

 

Regards.

Ball-park figure to fit a Logic+ 30kw combi to your existing system is £2000, a survey is essential to give a firm quote and check the viability of the job and thoroughly discuss your options. Happy to view your current boiler and diagnose problem plus conduct survey at same time, regards, Steve

without looking at the job i would definately be looking at the fan on this

boiler,only your mention of loud clicking noises could point to the PCB board,

not much inside these boilers to go wrong,but the fan on this model are prone

to giving up the ghost,simple test as you know your pump is running

turn on your boiler and listen to hear for the fan running,pump,fan,gas,

ignition,boiler fires,simples.parts are readily available for this boiler

unless you are looking at changing it.

Kind Regards

Phil
