The identified risk stems from the boiler's ability to operate under conditions where the heat exchanger is not properly cooled, leading to overheating and potential ignition of surrounding plastic components. This flaw has already resulted in several incidents where emergency measures were necessary to prevent fires.
To mitigate this risk, Ideal Heating has initiated a comprehensive modification programme. Importantly, while awaiting modification, the company advises that boilers can remain in use if repressurised to 1.5 bar, with detailed instructions available on Ideal's official safety notice page.
For homeowners and tradespeople alike, staying informed about such safety notices is crucial to ensure the wellbeing of all occupants and properties. If you're looking for a reliable tradesperson to assist with boiler checks or need guidance on maintaining a safe home environment, BookaBuilderUK has plenty of qualified professionals across the country.
