View the thread, titled "Commissioning Vokera Easi Heat" which is posted in Gas Engineers Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

Good morning all, just a quick one here and i was wondering if someone could give a little advice on their own experience. I don't usually do a lot of installs or a tremendous amount of gas work but obviously when I do undertake these things then I try my best to keep within the appropriate parameters that the manufacturer has stated.

When I put my analyser on at the flue and checked the readings, the instructions stated that the Co level at maximum and minimum should be 9.0%. I tweaked the maximum and minimum settings for Co levels at the gas valve of the boiler as per the instructions and i got it running spot on but I'm just wondering if this is something that you find you have to do an awful lot of when installing a new boiler. I can understand it being a possibility seeing as these things may move and be disrupted during transit but in all honesty I cant imagine a lot of people out there spending the time to do this, I'm not defending them but i really think there are a lot of installers out there not commissioning these correctly.

Another point, which to be fair is more of a rant, is that these Vokera Easi Heats now come with the bloody live feed connected to a "plug" on the motherboard making it impossible to renew the cable if you need it to be longer, absolute nightmare scenario if you have a bit of distance to your spur...which was the exact situation I found myself in 🙂 I don't know why they need to make these things more complicated that they need to be...

Anyway, any advice form other people experience would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Never tweak a brand new boiler as it’s burning off oils / manufacturer processes

You will find the first start up spec will be ratio of 0.0040 and under 250ppm etc
 
Thanks for your response mate. Im not disputing what you're saying but if this is the case then why does it not state it in the M.I's? It doesnt say anything about compensating the ratios for this, it just states that if you arent getting the correct readings then you should adjust the gas valve to suit. Also if your readings arent going to be correct, how long do you give it until it settles so that you can actually commission the boiler and difrientiate between burning oils and a poor gas and air mix?
