Firebird boiler locking out

    I’m looking for some advise, my boiler was working ok until I got it serviced recently. Now at times it is smoking a lot.
    It is also locking out at times, it will start ok and bring the water up to temperature but when it tries to fire again, it doesn’t seem to be able to and it keeps attempting to until it locks out. If it is left for a few hours, it will start ok but lock out when it tries to restart after reaching temperature. Is there any adjustment that can be made to the fuel/air mixture?

    sounds like your boiler wasn't serviced properly


    did you get a print out of the emissions on completion

    there are adjustments that can be made but this is not a good idea as your boiler could be pumping out high levels of co


    best get your service guy back or somebody else if your not confident in his ability

    Thanks for the reply
    No print out, I don’t think any testing was done and he’s not answering the phone now. Going to have to it done properly

    Got it looked at by someone else, a faulty fuel pump that wasn’t able to get the right pressure. Got it replaced and all is working now
