How to Strip and Clean a Baxi Solo HE Heat only boiler

Full strip and clean of a Baxi Solo HE 15. What started off as a routine service soon turned into a major service when it became clear it had not been done in quite a while.
In this video see how to remove the fan, condensate trap, combustion door, electrodes, burner and sump and put it all back togther.
We also complete all our ga safety checks including gas rate, telegan readings etc.
The video is for guidance of registered gas engineers only or entertainment only. Please not not attempt any of the work shown if you are not competent.
Thank you for you continued support, the giveaway draw is coming! I’ve been flat out but I will make the draw this week so stay tuned

Boss! If someone cleans and service the way you did, will definitely have a big positive result! Because I cleaned my own Baxi very light before seeing your kind video and I saw a big difference!

Like watching vids on the older boilers.. I'm usually a bit lost when I get to the older stock

Cheers mate 🙌👍

Great vid. Worse boilers ever made !

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Cheers mate, yeah I really don’t like them either!

[@d.costacostagliola7298]

Great video mate, agreed on those boiler's as well, absolute garbage, those flow switches are foverer leaking

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Yes that’s another part that can be a pain, and the heat exchanger plate on right hand side leaking, rubbish

[@dickiedubs3137]

How do you put it into service mode low and high

[@andykun2728]

hi how can you but this boiler in service mode to do your analyzing

[@michaelbeckett3393]

Did you change the burner gasket on this?

[@ben2692]

To be fair that's not the worst I've seen. Pulled those sumps out to have moon rocks come tumbling down the back of it in the past😂. Often got a telling off for my troubles for "taking too long" as you know mate. They ain't that bad to do really.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Yeah think we have both seen worse on our travels, even had it where the sump has been wrecked and even after a clean out not passing a KW rating. I think we have an advantage from being made to strip these time after time so they ain’t that bad to us but I can see how a newer gas engineer or someone who doesn’t see them often may struggle with these! Always done a top job Ben, never understood why they would track your time on jobs when you always made sure it was done right! 👍

[@ben2692]

The buzz phrase was " we've trialed this and it's made no difference to job completion times" 🤣

[@tridens6708]

Which boilers do you recommend? By the sound of it most boilers are rubish

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Baxi and Worcester I normally fit and recommend at moment

[@jameswilson2899]

Great job mate, can I ask what you would charge for that.

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Hi mate, Takes around 90 mins so £120 plus parts

[@majidkhan7334]

Hi mate I have the same boiler the main heater exchanger is leaking can it be fixed and how much would u charge ?

[@charliewillis8527]

Had one todaygas valve was opening electrodes i replaced but still didnt light i put it down to the burner what do you think .the customer has decided to have a new Worcester boiler regards Lee

[@bluebulldog_uk]

I’ve seen them burners block up and fail to ignite, I would have gone electrodes then gas valve same to be honest 👍

[@charliewillis8527]

@@bluebulldog_uk yes I put it to the customer the boilers not in great shape so they have gone for a nice Worcester ri with 10 years warranty

[@charliewillis8527]

@@bluebulldog_uk what is your view on putting leak sealer in a system I have one at the moment pipes are in a soiled floor it's dropping every day

[@k20aa]

Great job what a horrible bit of crap to service always hated Baxi . No wonder that has had the big dodge by the last company

[@bluebulldog_uk]

Cheers mate….I like baxi boilers in general but don’t like the solo HE at all, not nice to work on and yeah agree last company dodged because of work involved by looks of it 👍

[@tridens6708]

But not good workmanship for the customer pays for service thinks it's done properly and cowboy Gas engineer dosent bother Easy money Gives you guys a bad name

[@brianmayne6513]

Good video. Not the best boiler but plenty of room to work on

[@bluebulldog_uk]

It’s a shame when you go to a customer that thinks they have had a boiler looked after for years and find out it’s never been done properly
