Baxi Neta Tec - anyone fitted one yet?

[djbphs]

I have recently fitted a baxi neta tec 24 kw combi. I understand its only been out around 1 month or so. Had problems after installation regarding de-aeration process. It didnt recognise it was natural gas ( this boiler can be piped straight upto lpg also with no conversion).

Anyone else had this same problem?

Only saw these today in a brochure in Plumb. Look quite good. I'm on a course on Thursday for the Duo Tec. Will be good to see if they have made some improvements as I do a lot of work on the last/first Duo Tec.

 

[djbphs]

To be honest it seems like a real state of the art boiler. Spoke with the technical today and they reckon its a pcb fault. Not good when you've supplied the boiler to the customer and it doesnt bloody work first time!

 

[arran197]

Never is tbh, but when you have a state of the art thing, there are likely to be a few teething problems with the first few. It's if the problem can be fixed quickly by the manufacturer. Baxi are usually quite good. Apparently we had a rep from Baxi in at our place and all the Duo Tec's we have on patch are covered by a 5 year warranty! Bonus!

Fitted my first one last week and they seem to be really good, I think I will be fitting a lot of these.

they look very easy to work on aswell

 

[Heating-eng]

Very easy to fit , very cheap for a boiler with 5 years warranty.

Do your self a favour and fit the Duo-tec 2..Plastic is ****e.And NO they are not easy to work on

 

[Heating-eng]

Most boilers have lots of plastic, I went to a 4 year old wb tonight with plastic leaking inside

thats exactly my point go to a 4 year old duotec and you wont have any plastic leaking,and poxi did warn of the neta tec when it was launched i have been to look at one and have a course on it next month i dont like it,its plastic,plastic is ****

Don't think you can go wrong with them at the moment with the 5 year warranty.

Don't think you can go wrong with them at the moment with the 5 year warranty.

thats a plus,dont think poxi would agree

 

[Heating-eng]

thats a plus,dont think poxi would agree

While ever it has a 5 year warranty I will be fitting them as much as possible.
Very cheap boiler.

i had a netatec fitted 3 weeks ago [sept 22nd] its just failed, error number 133= interuption or flame failure which indicates errors that prevent burner from starting.
called out my installer who had just been to another one he had installed with the same fault, could be this is an inherant problem, baxi engineer is due today, will update on progress.
my 25 year old baxi bermuda back boiler never had any faults at all, WHY! did i change it.

 

[Poxi]

A recallibration of the gas valve may be required, If the Engineer is stuck

 

[kevin h]

just finnished installing one today for my mother in law no less,red the bumph looked good ,am stuck at error 133 cant reset so phoning the bad music and appology for not dealing with you number in the morning .

baxi lost me with their barcelona combi , and their heat only condenser they brought out 10-15 years ago.
my old man installed one in his own place , went through 5-6 pcbs before throwing it in the skip and fitting a worcester.
another we installed for a 'wido' car dealer had the baxi engineer out 42 times , he kept a record , ended up receiving cash from baxi , he used that to buy a worcester.
will never fit a baxi or potterton boiler if i m supplying.
out of around 50 boilers i v fitted on contract this year ,couple were potterton promaxs, only boilers not to fire up and require a manufacturer visit to replace faulty parts on a brand new boiler .
no problems with vaillant , worcester , glow worm , viessmann , ideal .
baxi should stick to what they did best, cast iron . maybe turn their attention to making rhones and downpipes that dont require any electronics to work
doing some contract servicing at the moment , seeing a load of potterton envoys (same casing as the suprema , but its a heat only condenser) ,nearly every one has had 3 or 4 pcbs replaced in the 10 years they ve been in. they even supply you faulty brand new replacement pcbs , a real headache if you aint used to working on them .
