Isar HE24 Noisy????

[keepup]

I've just re-signed up for an account. I've not been on here for donkeys. Partly due to being busy a while back and more lately to being out of action due to illness. Its been so long in fact, I forgot my password and when I tried to reclaim it, the email account I had used all that time ago when I signed up, is now redundant so I've had to sign up for a new one!

Anyway, here's one for you. This isn't anything to do with me. I am a member of another forum (for bargains, deals etc at various retailers), and someone has asked for help with this.

Here we go.... The woman has just had a ISAR HE24 fitted in an airing cupboard previously occupied by the hot water storage cylinder which was fed by a Back Boiler. She feels the new boiler is VERY noisy. She has posted 2 videos of the Boiler in action on youtube. I have listened to the videos and my personal opinion is that the sound is normal for this boiler but some of the old Sage's on here might know different.

The second one is with Heating on. She describes the sounds as being like an Aeroplane and Very Noisy... Your thoughts?

Is it a vertical flue ? If it is check the inner flue is pushed fully home in all joints and is well supported.

The flue goes up into and out of the roof, not sure what i am looking for, sorry just a mere mortal

Sounds about normal for an Isar to me.

Exactly what noise do you think should not be there?

I know boilers make noises etc, but not that loud, if this was placed in my kitchen like some are there is no way this would be an acceptable level of noise for a boiler, have been to a friends today who has a combi and all you hear is hers fire up, no other noises (and hers is oldish) also my sisters is in her airing cupboard and even when on you cant here nothing, even when you open the cupboard its so quiet, expected a new combi boiler to by nigh on silent after listening to my back boiler, yet this is probably 4 times as noisy

hopefully when the sparky comes to wire up the controls he will have heard 100's of these and will hopefully be able to tell me if this is normal, as he is nothing to do with the company that installed it so has nothing to lose by saying yes its normal or no it isnt, if it is normal then its something i will have to live with in the winter

im not sure whether it does get inspected, i have heard many dont, and doubt a noisy boiler will be of any worry to anyone, other than me

darfield or tap? sorry dont know what you mean

 

[diverdee]

they all get inspected just they run very late behind the installers.i ment which company installed the boiler. am one of the inspectors so know it will be looked at eventualy
