Ga stands for get another

GA is rubbish and will continue to be. Has an adaptie digital gas valve ( rubbish) and a pcb made from dead isar pcb s. we fitted 600 or so of them and the have 99.9% failure . Neta te will leak from pressure gauge after 3 months.

28 kw duo 2 will have E133 after about 3 weeks 40kw dead within hours. I have two gas valves and pcb s in my van from when we installed the boilers, kept parts as sick of waiting for heat team. (Parts from rep)

The duo tec will (HE) will not fail until about 3 years old. You will dependent on use start to get e1 -33 which is indication that spark electrodes need replacing. ( free under warranty) . About 2% of HE develop a bus fault e168 after 2 years but free repair. Defo get the HE if u want a Baxi . ( probably one of the most popular boilers since 105 was phased out to main and potterton .)

GA = God Awful

i agree with above, nothing but bad news from ga boilers. The gas valve and pcb is supposed to work out the type of fuel its fitted to. half the ones ive fitted set themselves to LPG on nat gas supply. 🙁

I had an email from the works scheme that they were reducing the warranty on ga boilers.

Says it all right!!

not seen a E133 now for about 5 years,think we can conclude thats been sorted,not seen duff electrodes for ages either or E168 ftted loads the HEA is the one to go for GA should all be skipped

Had e133 few months ago but new shape has helped! 168 seems to be on 2009 - 2011 24kw and 28kw also on the potterton - never remember the names if the copies just the originals. Main don't make a 105 its an Eco ***** or some rubbish like that but its always a Baxi 105 in my little world!
