Intergas Boiler repair in Drogheda

cerbeus

Hi,

I have an Intergas Boiler which will start but fail quickly with an error code of 5.
Resetting it used to get it going but even that isn't working so I suspect something needs to be looked at.
I'm having trouble getting someone with knowledge of Intergas boilers locally.

You can contact Joule 01-6237080 (ask for Andy Donnelly) and he will direct you to a service agent.

Its a poor flame signal, usually on these boilers its one of 3 things:

1) Sensing electrode needs cleaning
2) or replacing
3) on older models the spark generator may need replacing

All the above require an RGI to carry out the work.

Have you tried Barry Moloney in Julianstown

Does he service/repair Intergas boilers? Can't find any details for him when I do a search.

Not sure i just see his van around Drogheda alot. I know he took over his father’s business not so long ago so might be worth a call. Another lad is Jason Fahy in monasterboice

Thats why I suggested contacting Joule (they are Intergas agents) and would direct you to someone familiar with the intergas boilers.

Always found a lot of engineers shying away from them, but they are fantastic bits of kit.

That's my problem, the minute I mention Intergas they tend to be less enthusiastic. Have had it looked at by someone who said they were experienced but when he serviced it, he barely looked at it. He got it working but it still faulted every now and then. So this time I'd like to get some one with prior experience.

DGOBS

Yeah, for some reason they don't seem to get this boiler.
It's very straight forward, and I have given you the 3 possible faults causing your issue above and a contact for the agent (did you try them yet?)

cerbeus

Rang, left a message asking for a call back but have yet to hear back.

DGOBS

PMed you a number

cerbeus

Better put the safety on that cannon,for now.

I bought the boiler as it was pitched to me as a very easy to maintain unit. The crew who installed it went bust a year later. Managed to get it serviced but only by people who admitted to not knowing too much about the brand.

Unfortunately not having much luck getting it repaired which leads me unable to recommend it purely based on the lack of popularity of the Intergas brand in Ireland. I've even contacted the appointed resellers Joule based in Dublin but they never even returned my calls. :mad:

DGOBS

And what i really don't understand is, they are very reliable appliances, great boilers IMHO, and very easy to service and maintain, never understood why gas service engineers shy away from them.

Sad thing is guys, when I was on my tools, I did a good bit of serving in Drogheda....

Could you PM me the contact you referred to earlier in the thread? TIA

DGOBS

Done

cerbeus

Hope you have better luck than I did.

No, I already spoke with him on Monday, said he would get back to me, I rang again, no response.

cerbeus

I never even spoke to the chap. But I was only looking for information in the form of people who had experience with the Intergas model that I have in order to get it repaired. I would have thought that you being interested in an install of a brand that they are meant to be the main agents for in Ireland, would have gotten a better response.

DGOBS

Did you manage to get it fixed in the end?

cerbeus

Nope.

DGOBS

So annoying, as its a pretty simple fault to get fixed!!
Apologies that I am no longer on my tools and able to assist you.

Just in case anyone reading this thread want's to know an Intergas installer who is happy to maintain them:

MOD SNIP Posting details in that manner isn't allowed. Perhaps you'd allow people interested to contact you by PM?
