Ideal logic + Heat 18

[Al cw]

Afternoon all I was just wandering if the Ideal logic + heat 18 has a build in frost stat.

Have you looked in the installation manual?

 

[Al cw]

Couldn't see anything in there hence the question. I'm not a plumber by the way.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

No they don't best to fit an external one, only problem is you need to be gas safe

 

[Harvest Fields]

As above. A gas safe Engineer is need to fit one Easy job for a pro.

Ok I thought that a frost stat was an electrical connection. If it was an external stat.

It is an electrical connection. But you need to be Gas Safe Registered to access the connector block.

I understand now. How much do they cost are. Do they take long to install.

Depends on a number of factors mate. Best to get someone in to have a look.

Frost stat and pipe stat.
Is the pipework insulated?

 

[Al cw]

No its not insulated. The boiler is in the garage. The garage is a new build. So not likely to get cold in there. But iv heard it's always best to have a frost stat if the boiler is outside the house.

Might invalidate the warranty on the boiler if you do not have one.

 

[Al cw]

Ok great stuff. Just out of interest is the boiler in danger of not working if the garage gets a little chilly in the winter. Not Frezzing just cold.

 

[Scott_D]

How do you know it wont get to freezing temps?
Obviously you are wasting heat through non insulated pipes

 

[Harvest Fields]

As above, but I would get someone in to quote you before you decide it is a definite NO.

 

[Al cw]

Only say it won't be Frezzing in there as it's a well insulated garage. Sorry the pipes going into the boiler are Insulated but the gas pipe is not. All this is in the garage. Hope that makes sense.

 

[townfanjon]

Sorry not read all above , you dont just insulate pipes to prevent freezing its also to prevent heat loss .

Ok thanks for advice. Only asked original question. As someone on the Web said it had a built in frost stat. And as they could not see an electrical connection for the cable.

Then they must be blind
