Vokera Vision Plus 35C Review & Installation - Combi Boiler Reviews

[@du7ch384]

Moved to Scotland 2 yrs ago Allen, the property had a Vokera Linea 35HE fitted, We changed all the rads and power flushed for the pipes then had a Magnaclean fitted and it's never missed a beat since. Until we moved I'd never heard of Vokera but our local gas engineer swears by them! As long as he's happy he can come and look at ours every 12mths, But tbf its on light-duty use, mainly for HW since the log burner went in last year.

[@AllenHart999]

Thank you so much for the feedback.

[@petersutton587]

Not bad vokera have up there game looks like a half decent boiler easy to work on as plenty of room inside thumbs up from me 👍

[@AllenHart999]

David is very happy. Thanks.

[@mgbroadsterJ]

I like it ,I've seen one in the merchants on a breakfast morning . The only thing which I couldnt work out is the wiring . I like to use a 5 core cable to wire the external controls . The connections are in an unusual place under the boiler . You can have the best of both worlds with this boiler ,fantastic hot water flow rate and it can be range rated for the heating .

[@walt-sh7ju]

Good informative video. My dad used to fit vokeras going back to the open flued dc turbo combi. I moved away from vokeras a few years ago after problems with heat exchangers failing on a few of our installs and on boilers fit by other firms that would not go back to the job. If you have a good relationship with vokera tell them to get out and see the Installers and do sales mornings in the merchants and restore installers faith in vokera as I can never remember seeing a vokera rep.

[@jackhoskins722]

Good to see other manufacturers uping game even the new alpha boilers look decent inside

[@AllenHart999]

Thanks for watching.

[@andymav3023]

Never had any issues with vokera! As long as they are installed correctly boom!

[@kozy2267]

Looks like decent boiler the old lineas were very reliable. I wonder what size the water ways are in the main heat exchanger coils are.

[@AllenHart999]

I will try and get a cut-out section and add it as a video. Thanks

[@deansabran657]

There is clear plastic pipe came in the instructions bag...what is it for?

[@PeterlAllen1]

If you are building a partnership with Vokera, can you do a review and installation of one of their rear flue models (Vision Plus 30C for example)? It would possibly be an ideal replacement for old heat only boilers in flats, allowing the engineer to use the old flue hole in the wall and potentially still get the height on the wall to fit the unit in a kitchen cupboard. I have considered using one for such purposes, but don't want to purchase one and find it doesn't quite fit.

[@AllenHart999]

I am open to all brands to help raise the standards in the industry and showing how to install boilers correctly. I will certainly see what we can do though. Thanks.

[@firstchoicebathroomsandtil2423]

Hi Allen I’m changing a Heatline s24 s gas boiler for a vokera easi heat I 25c The Heatline only has rads in and out dhw in. So I’m short the 1/2 inch dhw out pipe? Thanks

[@richardhodgson7443]

Great video Allen, thanks

[@AllenHart999]

Richard Hodgson You are welcome to come and have a play with it. Thanks.

[@richardhodgson7443]

Allen Hart definitely 👍

[@daveyoung6680]

Is there anyway to route the pipes to the back of the boiler and out through the top

[@carolewilson9621]

Hi what temperature should the boiler be set to for heating and hot Water using the front display the boiler is also connected to a brand new nest 3rd gen if this makes a difference house is 13 rooms over 3 floors and radiators in hallways as well

[@iheggis86]

How reliable are those Riello pumps? Don’t see them in many boilers. Love the big plate heat exchanger.

[@AllenHart999]

I honestly have no idea but they are a premium brand in commercial. Thanks.

[@pauls826]

Alan mate I didn’t know you were into vokeras fitted quite a few now I like them well got a quick question for you fitting an evolve 32 combi this week guy wants it zoneing but the stars volt free what’s crack with this there a way round it

[@jonathancharlesworth3155]

As a lay person I like that boiler....steel and cooper components. How long is the warranty Allen ?

[@AllenHart999]

7 years I believe. Thanks

[@garrynutter860]

Allen sorry cant remember which Vokera video it was mentioned. But do any of these boilers have a remote display where you can see the same info as on the boiler. Just wondering as we want to put ours in the loft. Thanks

[@AllenHart999]

Garry Nutter I am sure you can. I will try and get David back at some point and do a detailed video. Thanks

[@davidvokera535]

Yes, all our current boilers do but to get system pressure on the room thermostat and on the app you'll need the Vision Plus or evolve ranges as they have pressure transducer, the other have a simple switch that cannot determine actual pressure

[@earnie12345]

Plate looks very awkward to remove, be a pain when you need to replace. What's the price for these?

[@AllenHart999]

We will answer this on next video. Thanks so much for the question.

[@meatballhead3290]

Condensate trap out and plate comes straight out.

[@meatballhead3290]

I've never understood the 💩 vokera get... loved fitting Compact 29A's ... going on 8 Years since installation and I've had two faults to date out of atleast 12 boilers. 1. Expansion Vessel needed recharging on 1 boiler... I'd have recharged a worcester or vaillant 3 or 4 times by now. 2. Vokera 1st Gen RF Stat broke... so not really a boiler fault. Keep going Vokera 👍

if i insall a Vokera Lpg easy flo do i need a 2 stage regulator setup ?

[@oscaribarramartinez1033]

great job, from Spain.

[@AllenHart999]

Thank You

[@leefischer3639]

I have just installed a vokera easyheat 25c combi boiler, was annoying as all the pipes were the wrong way round, has the heating flow then return, prv, gas, condense, hw out and mains in, nice and compact though

[@vulcancontinental]

If you're looking for the more common layout there is this Vision Plus range and also look for the Compact A DIN model in Toolstation. The easiheat is a version of that. The Compact has rear flue and different valves but is what the easiheat was derived from.

[@SuperWayneyb]

Do they have a recommended torque for the bolts holding the burner in like Baxi do Allen?

[@AllenHart999]

Not sure but i will ask David. Thanks.

[@1Monaghan]

Think those burner nuts always recommended to be 6-9 NM

[@SuperWayneyb]

Lee Monaghan Same as Baxi, but just asking while Allen has manufacturers on his video 👍👍

[@dickie997]

I didn't see how you made it Boiler + compliant?

[@AllenHart999]

I will be wired to two nests for now. Might change it though to the V Smart stuff and see how that works. Thanks.

[@dickie997]

Allen Hart did you wire the two Nest using their OT connections, if so how?

[@reliabill87]

Is there no automatic air vent in the boiler?

[@AllenHart999]

Yes

[@vulcancontinental]

@@AllenHart999 The auto air vent is behind the pump

[@alexanderellis6427]

Is the vokera boiler heavy

37kg Thanks.

Thanks Allen

[@francispye9587]

Is the wiring the same

[@desdiamond5700]

Glasgow is the capital city for vokera boilers, full of them.

[@AllenHart999]

👍👍👍

[@deansabran657]

Any idea what the clear pipe for ?

[@stuartscott5506]

@@deansabran657it should connect to a drip tray at the top of the heat exchanger to collect any flue leakage but baxi had the patent

[@craigwatson7692]

Looks like a decent boiler with nice access to all the parts. The internal drain off to purge the heat exchanger is good but if its required after a drain down and a non registered plumber is working on the system then it could cause them a headache. Also that pressure gauge located under the boiler, not a great idea for when the boilers is installed low down where visibitly for the householder will be poor. Considering the size of the plate, 14.2lpm on the hot water is good but not as good as alot of other brands with the same kw rating. Personally though for around an extra £250 - 300 id rather fit a baxi 836, and get 3 more years warranty a filter and nearly 1lpm extra hot water. Overall not bad but id most likely only fit them for a landlord who doesn't want to pay the extra.

[@AllenHart999]

Not sure about the logic on flow rates? I will look into these numbers tomorrow. Thanks

[@colinfleming2244]

Looks better than some off last one's. prv and schrader look a nightmare to get to if it's been shoe horned into a cupboard

[@AllenHart999]

Doesn’t look bad really, I will do a video tomorrow. Thanks

[@kozy2267]

How does price copmpare to other brands such as vailant Worcester or baxi

[@AllenHart999]

I have it on test. Time will tell. I am sure there will be more videos about it. Thanks

[@bobsyuruncle5102]

Do you know any companies who hire apprentices or newly qualified plumbers

[@AllenHart999]

Good luck.

[@timhancock6626]

The pressure gauge is in a useless position unless it's repeated in the display. Ideal moved theirs on the Logic in response to criticism. I owned a Linea 28 for ten years. The diverter was the only thing that failed. I'd just say that I try to buy stuff made in the UK, providing it's good enough of course. Why export other people's work ?

[@AllenHart999]

This question will be answered in an upcoming video. Thanks.

[@Moocow9991703]

It actually looks ok but I'll stick to the Baxi Main for my budget option...less plastic

[@AllenHart999]

Thank you very much for your feedback.

[@SalimKhan-gk1fh]

Blimey a vokera boiler you would not expect Allen Hart to be fitting one of these! The last time I remember this brand was in the 1980s when British Gas used them in their thousands ! I think they were green and white? I don’t remember the model number now or name do any guys remember them?? They weren’t a bad boiler But there weren’t many Combi brands around in them days.I remember changing the fans on them they were screwed on top with a load of Philips screws.

[@AllenHart999]

I am open to any brand. Its all about showing how to installs boilers correctly. Thanks.
