Precisely what I needed - spent the best part of 2 hours trying to set temperature efficiency for heating and water - then came across this video and sorted it within 2 minutes! Thank you so much!
You are an absolute god. I’ve spent the last hour trying to solve this problem and this is the only video that properly explained how to do it. Thank you so much!
my friend, you are a literal lifesaver. I had no idea about the correct temperature and how to deal with pressure. very very well explained video, clear and helpful. I'm so grateful for this information. God bless you man ❤
Many thanks! My Baxi boiler lost pressure (for the 2nd time) and I couldn't remember how to fix it. Your video told me all I needed to know. Thanks once again - "the power of RUclips!".
Thanks, really helpful - especially because Baxi's were recommended by heating engineers, but not enough about them on the web from the company yet. Also good tip relating to where to direct the condensate pipe to prevent it freezing in bad weather.
You have just saved my life bud I have this exact boiler and have been freezing for the last few days waiting for a technician to come and sort it out only to find the pressure is such an easy fix. Legend!!
Thank you so much! We couldn't get ahold of our landlord and we've been out of hot water and central heating all day. The flat was freezing and we couldn't shower, wash dishes. Now everything is back to normal!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! Your a legend!! My boiler stopped working. It’s a Sunday and repair man was booked for tomorrow. After watching your video I turned the two screws and the pressure came back!!! I happy viewer! 😁
Thank you very much you lovely kind man. I came home to no heat and hot water and managed to fix the pressure in the boiler thanks to you. Big hug xxxx
Thank you. I've lived in a house for four years that has one of these. I've never fully understood the controls but do now. Touch wood it's been great so far.
Thank you this video was very helpful I've spent ages looking online to check I've put boiler on timed correctly and this video explains everything about my boiler even things I was going to look up after so thank you
Thank you, had one of thee boilers installed yesterday, heating dial only shows temperature range 10 - 30 degrees centigrade, not 20 to 80 as in your video, hence radiators are only luke warm. Installer said it was probably just the plumbing on the heating system. I have now phoned Baxi, explained the problem and they are sending an engineer out. Your video help me determine there was a fault, thanks for posting. Tim.
Just found this video as I was suffering with a loss in pressure. Excellent video. Solved the issue straight away except I had to turn the Knobs the opposite way to what you said. Other than that brilliant! Cheers mate
Thanks for putting this up, been in this house for years and didn't know how to use the timer as no explanation when I moved in; even tried the pegs etc but didn't realise there was a third position on the switch for timer so have just left it on 1 and used the thermostat to turn it on/off all this time! You're vid really helped! :) Looking forward to a warmer house to get out of bed to in future! :)
Thnx buddy , I had bit trouble with mine, this helped me sort mine out. Presure was up and was getting reading E113. Bled the radiators and the presure gauge came down .reset the boiler and all sweet, but couldn't get hot water, adjusted the water tap presure and now it's great I needed to know what other ppl had their water temp on. Thnx buddy.
Thankyou sooo much... I thought this was gonna be an expensive repair but watching your video I was able to DIY it... I can now have heating and hot water again, my dials work the opposite way to the video but they do the same job.
great little video and good point about the condensate pipe as mine froze and locked up the boiler but now it runs into a large bore pipe before going outside
thank you that was a great help i didn't understand when i moved into my flat and the heating was explained and this has helped me to set my heating to come on on the timer
Great Video, thanks for the help. Our installer didn't really explain to us which are the best settings to set the temperatures to so this video helped out a lot.
Thank you sir! Excellent video and sorted my issue right out! I thought it was the taps I needed to turn, didn't want to turn the wheels because I thought they were just end caps! Haha. Good pressure... hot water... now I can have my bath! 👍
Just moved into a new house, and pressure was low the instruction manual left was not helpful to re pressurise. Good little Video thanks for assistance.
good video, we are getting a new Baxi fitted in a couple of weeks love the new combi's were you can set the water temp and the heating temp from my mobile and control my home temp- be careful though their are some sharks out there trying to rip you off , we had one guy quoted £3000 to fit a £1000 boiler in the existing location we got somebody to do it for 1/2 that.
Thanks for the amazing video I have the potterrton promax combi and didnt know what setting were best for hot water and heating having it on 80 for heating was was to hot for me so thankyou.
Whoever said these boilers save money was having a joke. My first quarterly bill was £500! I'm getting the meter checked! The E133 fault was sorted by the National Grid who were called out by Baxi to alter the gas pressure. Wish I'd kept the old boiler that was in the house or had a system like in my old house: a multi-point water heater and no central heating, just individual gas or fan heaters in the rooms. That house was cheaper to run AND had no double glazing. I'll be complaining to Baxi soon!
I have Baxi Duo Tec combi boiler much the same as this one, except I have a timer on the wall and not on the unit. My question is, how do I know if mine is a condensing boiler? it's about 8 years old now.
Thank you for this video it has helped me a lot as my pressure was dropping and I diidnt have a clue how to do it this has helped me but I dont have the adjusting knobs on mine where could I get these knobs from to add to mine would you know please?
Small correction about the pressure drop, it shouldn't happen too often. Of it does, you should check your system for leaks. Usually it's a wayward radiator.
Thanks for the video very helpful as just moved into a new property with one of these exact boilers in my question is how to turn the heating on as got no thermostat got a smart thermostat not sure how to turn heating on.
Thank you very much our boiler stop working just now when it's outside freezing and for three days our agency with landlord don't give a f..ck (they didn't even leave here manual) so we was freezing with same temperature like outside and just thanks to your video I was able to re-pressure boiler on my own and start heating THANK YOU AGAIN MAN YOU ARE LEGEND
It's a combination boiler so it can't heat central heating and hot water at the same time. So if you're heating is set to 'on' and you run a bath, your radiators will cool because all the heat is going to the hot taps because hot water is the priority. As soon as your bath is filled though the boiler will go back to heating the radiators. :)
I have this boiler and have a question. I have been turning the boiler on and off when needed in winter but I was told not to do that but to use the thermostat instead to turn heating off is this true? I am just worried if I did this it would still be using gas as the boiler would be set to heating and water. I am confused!
Set the thermostat to off, zero or the lowest temperature you can set... The heating will only go on if the thermostat falls below the set temperature, so if you set it on zero or off or the lowest, it won't go on.
Hi thanks for a very good explanation.... can you please tell why I can’t get hot running water? But getting hot radiators fine? Be very grateful. PS I have exact model as this. Thanks
Your the first to tell users about condensing boilers and setting temperatures to say 63c for rads, so many monkeys install and wack it up to over 75c due to undersized rads or clogged systems. Condensing mode at return of say 54c is most efficient and can get 93% heat return, if at say 70c your get 83 % return efficiency. WEll DONE!
Hi, thank you very much for this. The Baxi manual is terrible, it doesn't tell you how to set the timer and I wouldnt of know how to change the time without this video!
Very useful video. Had one installed yesterday. Mine comes with a remote control and I was searching how to turn the radiators on. I turned the radiator dial as I did with my previous boiler and they aren't coming on, so I think maybe it might be somethin to do with the remote control.
same here. the heating seems go go by what's been programmed on the cordless thermostat. if there is a conflict between the timings on the radiator and the thermostat I think the heating doesn't work. still exploring how this boiler works
Regarding running into sink trap waste pipe, don't let the waste pipe get blocked & block the condensate outflow. Don't stuff veg waste or fats down your sink! I recently had to clean out a waste pipe, totally clogged with food gunge which was backing up the boiler condensate pipe!
I know this an old video but ty for explaining how to use the temperature settings and how these combi boilers actually work (🙈 had ours for a long time and only learning about it!) for optimum gas efficiency. In these current times with prices so high we must be as careful as possible to not to waste money! 👍😀
@@heisenberg1271 It sounds as though you need a programmer (RF room thermostat) and receiver unit. There are plenty on the market and quite easy to wire up / install on this boiler (caveat - by a qualified electrician).
Hi Thx for the video quite useful. Daniel Caie has clrd one of my doubts reg why the central heating function switches OFF when the hot water is ON. This is what it does in my Potterton Apollo Condensing Combi boiler. Also, I wld like to know how to put the PRESSURE down. My one is touching 3bar when the hot water is ON and goes back to 2.3. However, it was at 1.6 only 10 days ago. Many thanks.
Hi I have the same boiler. Baxi duo tec combi 24 HE A. The only problem that I have is that I have to open the hot water tap in the kitchen or toilet sick half way through in order to get boiler hot water indicator to lit and then to kick on the boiler to heat up the hot water. So it is a lot of water waste. So it it possible to get it adjusted so if I open the hot water tap a little that the boiler kick on the burner to heat up the water?
I have this combi boiler in a council flat it is brilliant but I must admit in the winter the pressure tends to drop and we find that when we put the hot water tap on it takes forever for the hot water to come through the tap?
Hi mate I have a same BAXI boiler but today I face one issue that never get hot water today I don't what problem with its either its turned on properly and showing temperature 57 or some time 65 but still cold water plz guide me what did I do plz? I'm living in Ireland 🇮🇪
if you get one of these boilers before the end of december 2017, baxi give you a free 7 year warranty. i've just registered my new duotec and have the 7 year warranty all set up. by the way, are your settings fine for both summer and winter months? or do i need to adjust depending on season? cheers
Sorry just one minor point . When indicating which wheel to turn when re - pressurising the Boiler the expression ' That one ' does not precisely state WHICH ONE ! . On mine I had to turn the LH AWAY & the RH one TOWARD if that helps .

Baxi duo-tec and Platinum are the best boilers made over the last 12 years in my opinion. i have fitted lots of them and never have any issues.
You have just saved my life bud I have this exact boiler and have been freezing for the last few days waiting for a technician to come and sort it out only to find the pressure is such an easy fix. Legend!!

Helped me greatly . Needed to check our digital display max with yours and it’s spot on . Thanks
Thank you so much!!! Your a legend!! My boiler stopped working. It’s a Sunday and repair man was booked for tomorrow. After watching your video I turned the two screws and the pressure came back!!! I happy viewer! 😁
Had this model fitted today,your video was far better than the manual. Cheers
Life saver ! Thank you so much got this same boiler four years ago never really understood, but now thanks to you I do 👍
Thank you very much you lovely kind man. I came home to no heat and hot water and managed to fix the pressure in the boiler thanks to you. Big hug xxxx
I just had mine serviced after 1 year. Your video was more info than I could get from the Service person ... can you believe that? Thank you.

really useful tips. made much more sense than the instruction book. well done.
Had this boiler installed yesterday
Your video was spot on in helping me set it up thank you
Well done pal, had my water right, I was a bit unsure about the central heating. Thanks
great little video and good point about the condensate pipe as mine froze and locked up the boiler but now it runs into a large bore pipe before going outside
Thank you just moved into a house and was clueless with this boiler! Very helpful x
thank you that was a great help i didn't understand when i moved into my flat and the heating was explained and this has helped me to set my heating to come on on the timer
Thank's for this vid just moved into a private acom and it has this boiler...had'nt a clue what i was doing with it....a great help
Welcome glad it was a help
Very useful demo, helped me decide on which new boiler to have. Thanks for posting it.
Cheers mate! Literally the only video out there helpful in this situation.
Excellent tip on running the plastic pipe into the sink trap, as I just had to defrost mine as it is outside.
The Duotec is a re-badged version of the very common Potterton Promax Combi which is a very good boiler, I've worked on hundreds. :)
I have the potterton promax boiler brillaint one x
Great Video, thanks for the help. Our installer didn't really explain to us which are the best settings to set the temperatures to so this video helped out a lot.
Thank you sir! Excellent video and sorted my issue right out! I thought it was the taps I needed to turn, didn't want to turn the wheels because I thought they were just end caps! Haha. Good pressure... hot water... now I can have my bath! 👍
Amazing info sorted my e1 19 error thanks for the help
thank you i just fixed it myself thanks to your video!
thanx mate helped a lot cos just moved in to new place and got this boiler now I kno how to use it
Thank you! I've been at a complete loss until now. Great explanation - at last I know how to use it, hopefully bringing my bills down too :)
Well done dude Baxi are the best boilers
THANK YOU! I just had to repressurise my boiler! This was so helpful
Thanks! Those pressure taps have always got me :)
Just moved into a new house, and pressure was low the instruction manual left was not helpful to re pressurise. Good little Video thanks for assistance.
Brilliant video! Our boiler is now properly set up thanks 🙂
God bless you! You are very kind making this helpful video!

Fantastic information thanks
started off a bit iffy, like you was a tenant with a new boiler........finished up like you were a Baxi installer, good job
Doesnt sound like a gas engineer
You remind me of Samwell Tarly from Game of thrones :p. Informative video, thanks! Trying to decide between this and a more expensive Vaillant.
Small correction about the pressure drop, it shouldn't happen too often. Of it does, you should check your system for leaks. Usually it's a wayward radiator.
Thanks for the video very helpful as just moved into a new property with one of these exact boilers in my question is how to turn the heating on as got no thermostat got a smart thermostat not sure how to turn heating on.
Thank you great contribution and very helpful
Got the same boiler. plenty hot water but heating won't come on.
Brilliant, very informative, all bases covered, thanks sooo much :-)
Thank you very much our boiler stop working just now when it's outside freezing and for three days our agency with landlord don't give a f..ck (they didn't even leave here manual) so we was freezing with same temperature like outside and just thanks to your video I was able to re-pressure boiler on my own and start heating THANK YOU AGAIN MAN YOU ARE LEGEND

Thanks for the great video. How do I turn off the central heating? I don’t need it on between May to October. Thank you😀
Very helpful information and thank you.
Set the thermostat to off, zero or the lowest temperature you can set... The heating will only go on if the thermostat falls below the set temperature, so if you set it on zero or off or the lowest, it won't go on.
Please edit this video... and remove the suggestion that it might be crap.... This is a very good video ... Baxi should have you on their payroll lol.
Top video. Just got a boiler like this and your video explained the timer superbly after Googled results were not helpful. Thanks
would you recommend higher temperature setting on the boiler in the winter . I see you set boiler to 63c
Great video to help economic
Great vid. Nice and basic tuition.
Hi thanks for a very good explanation.... can you please tell why I can’t get hot running water? But getting hot radiators fine? Be very grateful. PS I have exact model as this. Thanks
