What does the 38 error mean on an Immergas boiler?

The 38 error on an Immergas boiler indicates loss of flame signal during operation. The boiler was running but the flame detection system stopped detecting the burner flame. If you smell gas, do not operate any switches, ventilate the area if safe to do so, leave the property immediately, and call the gas emergency service from outside. If there is no gas smell, switch off the boiler at the electrical supply. Wait 30 seconds and attempt one reset. If the error recurs, do not continue resetting. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to inspect the flame sensing electrode, ignition system, and gas valve.

How do I repressurise my Immergas boiler?

Locate the filling loop beneath or near your boiler. Open both valves slowly to allow cold mains water into the system while watching the pressure gauge. When it reaches between 1.0 and 1.2 bar, close both valves securely.

How should I protect my Immergas heat pump outdoor unit during winter?

Maintain a clear space of at least 60 centimetres around the outdoor unit at all times. After snowfall, gently brush away any snow accumulation from around the unit using a soft broom. Never use sharp objects to remove ice or snow as this can damage the coil fins. Do not cover the unit or stack anything on top of it as this restricts airflow. Some frost on the unit is normal and the automatic defrost cycle will handle this. If the unit remains frozen for more than a few hours, contact a qualified technician.

At what temperature should I store hot water to prevent bacteria growth?

If your Immergas system includes a hot water storage cylinder, the water should be stored at a minimum of 60 degrees Celsius to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria including Legionella. Water at taps should reach at least 50 degrees Celsius within one minute of running. Some Immergas systems include an anti-legionella function that periodically raises the stored water temperature automatically. This does not apply to combi boilers which heat water on demand without storage.

How do I reset my Immergas boiler?

Locate the reset button on your boiler's control panel, typically marked with a flame symbol or the word Reset. Press the button firmly. On most Immergas models, holding the button for approximately 5 seconds will initiate a restart. If the error clears, the boiler should resume normal operation. If the boiler does not reset or the same error returns, do not repeatedly press the reset button. Contact a qualified technician for diagnosis.

What periodic maintenance does my Immergas heat pump need?

Periodic maintenance includes visually checking for water leaks or oxidation on connections, verifying that safety devices have not been tampered with, and ensuring the outdoor unit remains free of debris. Check that drainage for condensate and defrost water is clear.
