What does the 221 error mean on an Immergas heat pump?

The 221 error on an Immergas heat pump indicates an outdoor unit temperature sensor malfunction. The temperature sensor on the outdoor unit is reporting incorrect readings or has failed. Switch off the heat pump at the isolator switch for five minutes. Switch back on and monitor for the error. If the error persists, contact a qualified technician for sensor testing and replacement.

What does the 04 error mean on an Immergas boiler?

The 04 error on an Immergas boiler indicates a contacts resistance block, meaning there is a fault detected in the gas valve electrical supply circuit. If you smell gas, do not operate any switches, ventilate the area if safe to do so, leave the property immediately, and call the gas emergency service from outside. If there is no gas smell, switch off the boiler at the electrical supply. Do not attempt to reset. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer for professional diagnosis and repair of the gas valve circuit.

What does the 10 error mean on an Immergas boiler?

The 10 error on an Immergas boiler indicates insufficient system pressure. The water pressure in the central heating system has dropped below the minimum level required for safe operation, typically below 0.8 bar. Check the pressure gauge on the boiler, which should read between 1.0 and 1.5 bar when cold. If pressure is low, locate the filling loop and slowly add water until the gauge reads within the correct range. Close the filling loop valves securely when finished. If you need to repressurise frequently, this indicates a leak in the system requiring professional attention from a qualified technician.

What does the 231 error mean on an Immergas heat pump?

The 231 error on an Immergas heat pump indicates a condensation temperature sensor malfunction. The sensor monitoring refrigerant condensation temperature has failed or is reporting incorrect values. Switch off the heat pump at the isolator switch. Contact a qualified technician with F-Gas certification for diagnosis. This sensor is critical for efficient heat pump operation and refrigerant circuit protection.

What does the 23 error mean on an Immergas boiler?

The 23 error on an Immergas boiler indicates a return temperature probe anomaly. The NTC temperature sensor measuring return water temperature is reporting incorrect readings or has failed. Switch off the boiler at the electrical supply. Wait 30 seconds and switch back on to reset. If the error persists, contact a qualified technician for probe testing and replacement. This sensor is important for efficient boiler operation and protection against overheating.

How do I switch my Immergas boiler between summer and winter mode?

Use the mode selector on the control panel or remote control to switch between modes. In summer mode, the boiler provides domestic hot water only and central heating is disabled. In winter mode, both domestic hot water and central heating are enabled. If using a CAR remote control, turn the main selector to the desired position. The display will show the current mode. Some models use icons: a sun or umbrella symbol for summer mode and a snowflake symbol for winter mode.

What do the symbols on my Immergas boiler display mean?

During normal operation, the display shows a green illumination with symbols indicating boiler status. The display typically shows the current water temperature. A flame symbol indicates the burner is active. A tap symbol relates to domestic hot water functions. A radiator symbol relates to central heating. Error codes appear as numbers or letter-number combinations when faults occur. When on standby, a horizontal segment appears. Consult your specific model manual for detailed symbol meanings as they can vary between models.

At what temperature should I store hot water to prevent bacteria growth?

If your Immergas system includes a hot water storage cylinder, the water should be stored at a minimum of 60 degrees Celsius to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria including Legionella. Water at taps should reach at least 50 degrees Celsius within one minute of running. Some Immergas systems include an anti-legionella function that periodically raises the stored water temperature automatically. This does not apply to combi boilers which heat water on demand without storage.

How often should my Immergas boiler be serviced?

The heating system should be serviced at least once a year. Additionally, a combustion test (flue test) should be carried out at least once every two years to ensure optimal safety, performance and operation.

Why are some radiators not heating up when my Immergas boiler is running?

If some radiators remain cold while the boiler is running, trapped air may be the cause. Bleed each cold radiator using a radiator key by opening the bleed valve until water flows steadily, then close it. Ensure all radiator valves are open. Check that the system pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar after bleeding. If radiators remain cold after bleeding, or if multiple radiators are affected, contact a qualified technician as there may be a circulation pump fault or system blockage.
