Baxi 105HE Instant Combi Boiler

This boiler was fitted in 2006.

Had to call the engineer out every year

Have had to change a part in it 3 times which heats the hot water up

Always loosing pressure

Now after nearly 8 years, theres so many things wrong with it, we need a new boiler. No hot water or heating in the middle of winter

Never again

Boiler fitted 2007 No trouble first Toook out emergency insurance. but no problems.

2011 boiler failed but quickly fixed by British Gas engineer who also serviced boiler.

2012 required annual service to upgrade insurance and engineer found boiler base plate "eaten away" by water from DHW valve leaking!!

He suggested probably uneconomical repair and probable new boiler required.

I contacted customer service with photographs and could they perhaps discount anew boiler or part exchange this otherwise good one... with the comment that I would expect the boiler to be operational more than 6 years. and why was the base plate in such a condition from a small leak.It looks like galvanised steel.

Customer service replied quickly basically "not their problem in so many words. goobledegook about not being annually checked by Baxi engineer and could not comment on why the baseplate had rusted.through Would I like to pay for a Baxi engineer to visit??

This boiler definitely not of good "merchantible quality" to quote sale of goods act..

What can I say?????? Looking forward to getting my new boiler soon. Won't be a Baxi though, strangely enough!

Had it fitted in 2008, spent more money having it repaired than the boiler cost, its had that many parts replaced im not sure if anythings original,i am now having the boiler replaced after 5 years of hell with it. its about to get ripped off the wall and bounced down the garden. following the hint of what i liked about it , its white.

Has this boiler since 2007 and had no problems with it until I had a service from a local engineer. It then started to go on and off at random and 2 local gas companies were unable to solve the problem. It got so that every time someone came out to it they left with the boiler working but by the next morning it had gone off again. I contacted Heateam, the Baxi engineers and took out boiler cover with them, but the first engineer couldn`t solve the problem. The next one got to work on it and it has been working ever since, finally putting an end to the stress my family suffered when we had no hot water or central heating. I think if you get someone from Baxi who had worked on this particular make of boiler you are more likely to get a competent engineer to fix it. My son has the same boiler and apart from one event, he has had no trouble with his.

Not had much bother with it.

Only thing i am bothered about is :

Any one any idea how i can turn the temperature control down. It is set on 5c so at night time my heating is coming on also my radiotors bank like mad so i end up going into the attic and switching the whole lot off till the morning.

Any ideas.

Boiler fitted in 2006 constantly losing pressure baxi replaced domestic heat exchanger still topping up every day.baxi said leak in system not boiler.gaurantee ran out pressure drop got worse no visible leak but excessive water out of flue outside and constant trickle from condensate pipe.Baxi never again no support from them at all.stay well clear

Would certainly not recommend this boiler. Since we had ours fitted some years ago we've had nothing but problems with it. We've virtually had every part replaced that can be - circuit boards, flow switches, the list is endless and it's also incredibly noisy. Not impressed

Keep away from Baxi 105he as far as you can, it's got one problem after another....

In 2006 I had to opt between 1 large Worcester boiler or 2 smaller boilers. Sadly, opted for 2 Baxi 105HE instant boilers - one at each end of the house. Have had the same problems as everyone else including loss of DHW and CH. Curently have 1 boiler with no CH circulation. No support from Baxi. Just worth noting a big thank you to all the fellow sufferers who share their woes on the web and help resolve the numerous problems. Would NOT reccomend Baxi products.
