Vokera Boiler Error Codes - How To Fix

Operating a Vokera boiler in your home means enjoying efficient heating and hot water—until an error code appears. These codes signify specific issues ranging from minor sensor faults to more severe problems requiring professional attention. 

Familiarising yourself with common Vokera fault codes and their meanings can be crucial in swiftly addressing and resolving boiler issues, ensuring minimal disruption to your comfort.

Initial troubleshooting steps can often be taken by homeowners before seeking expert help. For example, a flashing red light indicates the system is in fault and lockout mode, typically due to a persistent issue that needs resolving to restore function. 

Some issues, like a fan error indicated by code A03, are more technical and necessitate the assistance of a Gas Safe-registered engineer. It's imperative to address these faults promptly to prevent potential safety risks or further damage to the boiler.

Gas Safe Engineers

While some error codes are straightforward enough to be identified and fixed by homeowners, we always advise contacting a Gas Safe engineer to assess the situation and carry out any repairs necessary.

New Boiler Costs

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).
