GuidesError codes can range from ignition troubles to pressure fluctuations, each denoting a specific set of underlying issues.
Ravenheat boiler systems serve as critical components in many UK homes, providing warmth and hot water with notable efficiency.
However, like any sophisticated mechanical system, these boilers can present error codes signalling various faults that may disrupt their operation.
These error codes are not merely random numbers or characters; they are integral to diagnosing the exact nature of a problem and are the first step in the troubleshooting process.
Homeowners and engineers rely on understanding these codes to swiftly and effectively restore boiler functionality, maintaining the comfort and safety of the household.
Error codes can range from ignition troubles to pressure fluctuations, each denoting a specific set of underlying issues.
It is important to note that while some error codes may indicate simple issues that can be resolved without professional intervention, others may require the expertise of a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Moreover, the process of resolving these errors varies in complexity and might entail resetting the boiler, cleaning essential components, or replacing faulty parts.

F86 - Fault with the Underfloor Heating Contact: There's an issue with the contact for underfloor heating.
ERR - Faulty User Interface: The user interface of the boiler is experiencing a fault.
04 - Faulty Hot Water Sensor: The sensor responsible for detecting hot water temperature is faulty.
Boilers can be a daunting purchase for many people as they’re an appliance with a lot of responsibility, providing heat for you and your family is something you want to get right. Boilers aren’t exactly a quickly disposable item either, potentially lasting you a decade.
Effectively, New boiler cost can be split into two segments: the first is the actual boiler itself (unit price), and the second is the cost of the boiler being installed (set up) in your property by an expert engineer.
Here at iHeat, we want to remove all of this undue stress and make the decision making process of upgrading to a new central heating system, as easy as possible.
Boiler costs can vary depending on a number of factors including their brand, model, fuel, output, warranty, labour and installation type. Typically a new boiler will cost between £1,845 and £3,500, below is a list of average boiler installations offered by iHeat (guide only).
Installation Type | Price (inc VAT) | |
Combi to combi swap | £1,845 | |
System to combi conversion | £2,499 | |
New boiler install | £2,899 | |
Back boiler to a combi | £3,299 | |
System to system | £1,945 |
Error code 01 indicates an ignition problem in a Ravenheat boiler. This could stem from numerous issues including a faulty burner, a damaged electrode, a problematic ignition lead, a malfunctioning spark generator, or issues with the printed circuit board.
A flashing red light on a Ravenheat boiler typically signifies a lockout condition, which can be triggered by various faults such as low pressure, flame detection problems, or overheating. It is essential to consult the user manual or a professional for specific diagnostics.
To reset a Ravenheat boiler, locate the reset button – often found on the boiler's display panel. Press and hold the button for about 5 seconds. If the boiler does not reset, you might need to consult the manufacturer's instructions or contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Boiler fault codes are alphanumeric codes displayed on the boiler's control panel. These codes offer an immediate indication of the nature of any problems the boiler might be experiencing, facilitating quicker diagnostics and repairs.
Manuals for Ravenheat boilers can usually be found on the manufacturer's website. Alternatively, hard copies may come with the appliance upon purchase, or they can be requested directly from Ravenheat.
If a fault code appears, it is advisable to switch off the boiler and consult the manual or a Gas Safe registered engineer for advice. Continuing to operate a boiler with a fault code can be unsafe.
Regularly turning a boiler on and off is not typically harmful and can be a part of normal operation. However, frequent restarting due to faults or lockouts should be investigated by a professional to prevent potential damage to the boiler system.
