Product Information

Full details

The Grant Vortex Eco Wall Hung Boiler is designed for homes where floor-standing units are not an option, offering robust heating performance and reliability. Its key benefit is its space-saving wall-hung design combined with efficient operation. A potential caveat is its reliance on an open-vent system, which may not be suitable for all modern heating configurations. This boiler features a patented stainless steel heat exchanger, a maximum output of 21kW, quiet operation, and Class 2 NOx emissions.

Is this boiler suitable for small homes?

Yes, its output range is suitable for small to medium-sized homes. Its wall-hung design also makes it ideal for properties where space is limited.

How efficient is the Grant Vortex Eco Wall Hung Boiler?

The boiler achieves an efficiency of 90.52%, contributing to reduced fuel consumption.

What are the dimensions of the boiler?

The dimensions are approximately 842mm (Height) x 630.5mm (Width) x 335.5mm (Depth).

What maintenance is required?

Annual servicing by a qualified heating engineer is recommended to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Regular checks of the system components are also advised.

Can this boiler be installed in a cupboard?

Yes, the wall-hung design makes it suitable for installation in various locations, including cupboards, provided there is adequate ventilation and access for maintenance, as per manufacturer and building regulations.

Troubleshooting

Boiler not firing up

Check the oil supply and ensure the tank is not empty. Verify that the thermostat is set correctly and calling for heat. Check for any error codes displayed on the boiler's interface and consult the manual.

Noisy operation

Unusual noises can indicate air in the system or potential issues with the pump or fan. Bleed radiators to remove air. If the noise persists, contact a qualified engineer for diagnosis.

Insufficient heating or hot water

Ensure the boiler's output is sufficient for the property's demand. Check radiator valves are open and that there are no blockages in the system. Air in the system can also reduce efficiency; bleed radiators.

Pilot light keeps going out

This may indicate an issue with the thermocouple, gas supply (oil in this case), or flue blockage. A qualified engineer should inspect and address the cause.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Grant Vortex Eco Wall Hung Boiler must be carried out by a qualified heating engineer. As an open-vent boiler, it requires a feed and expansion (F&E) system, typically involving a tank located in the loft space. Ensure proper ventilation and flue connections are made according to manufacturer guidelines and local building regulations.

Compatibility: This boiler is designed for use with an open-vent central heating system and is fuelled by oil. It is compatible with standard radiators and underfloor heating systems. Ensure any existing pipework and controls are suitable for an open-vent oil boiler system.

Care: Regular servicing by a qualified engineer is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and longevity. Annually check the boiler for any signs of damage or wear. Keep the area around the boiler clear of obstructions. Cleaning the exterior can be done with a slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. The F&E tank and system pipework should also be inspected periodically.
