What is boiler plus?

Boiler Plus, which came into force on 6 April 2018 in England, is part of the government’s Clean Growth Strategy to deliver high levels of efficiency and comfort, based on a resident’s property and lifestyle, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Boiler Plus is an amendment to Part L of the Building Regulations and is solely concerned with heating and hot water, which means it directly affects you.

How do I register my boiler warranty?

The warranty on your Intergas boiler is effective only after registering your boiler. This can be done by posting your completed warranty card within 30 days of the date of installation. Or you can register your warranty online here.

What is the Gas Safe register?

The Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey. By law all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register which ensures they adhere to stringent safety criteria and are up-to-date with the latest industry developments.

All Intergas service technicians and recommended installers are Gas Safe registered.

Intergas is a member of the Benchmark scheme that ensures best practice in installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic heating and hot water boilers in line with Building Regulations in England and Wales.

When does my boiler needs to be serviced?

To ensure your boiler warranty remains valid, your boiler needs to be serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered installer. All Intergas technicians and our recommended installers are Gas Safe registered. An Intergas service will ensure your boiler’s optimal performance is maintained.

Intergas offers service appointments at a fixed price inclusive of VAT, with the price dependent on the geographical location. Should parts be required, then the appointment will be classified as a breakdown and the associated breakdown price will be charged.

You can request a service appointment online at service@intergasheating.co.uk or you can call us on 01527 888000. We are open 08.00am – 05.00pm Monday – Friday and 9.00am – 12.00pm on Saturday.

What maintenance is needed for an Intergas boiler?

The appliance can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. The appliance and the installation should be checked and where necessary cleaned annually by a registered installer. The same applies to the flue pipe and air supply pipe. Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit, fix or service your gas appliance.  All Intergas technicians are Gas Safe registered. Book your Intergas servicing appointment here. To find or check an engineer call Gas Safe Register’s free helpline on 0800 408 5500 or visit www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk.

How do I know when the pressure in the system becomes too low?

If the pressure drops to below 0.3 bar when the boiler is operating, the water pressure value will be displayed (flashing digit) instead of the time read-out. The system should be topped up.

What is the difference between the Comfort mode and the ECO mode?

When the domestic hot water Comfort function is enabled the heat exchanger will be kept warm to assure instant delivery of hot water. When the boiler’s ECO function is enabled it will adapt to the pattern of usage of hot tap water. As a result, the temperature of the heat exchanger will only be maintained in periods when domestic hot water was drawn on in previous days. If there is no need for rapid delivery of hot tap water, the Comfort or ECO function can be switched off.

What is double high efficiency?

Intergas uses a unique back-to-back, two-in-one aluminium heat exchanger in all our boilers. In this aluminium heat exchanger two copper circuits are integrated, one for heating and one for hot water. Because the hot water is heated directly (instead of indirectly, as is the case in all other boilers) the Intergas boiler condenses 100% of the time, in heating mode as well as in hot water mode.
