Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I’m not sure who installed this system wether it was the flippers (I bought this home after it was flipped) or it was a person in the trade but I’m sure it’s not 100% by the book correct. These systems are great when they’re working, and a pain when they’re not!
Sounds like you know a bit about navien heaters! I have a NR 240 that I acquired. I was told it worked great. I installed it and it worked for a bit, but now it won’t turn on. The control board does not illuminate. There was a small water leak that I fixed. Do u think I might need a new control/circuit board? Any suggestions? As a side note, I don’t have a remote (thermostat) if that matters. Thank you
I appreciate your suggestions, as well as those of some of your critiques. But it doesn’t help us. Last night a loud noise, for ~4 seconds, we had never heard, came from unit and then it stopped with E 110 code. I cleaned screen and tried to restart but got code again. I tried to share photo but it won’t let me. The intake and exhaust pipes were installed correctly, >12” apart, and the intake pipe has a down-facing inlet. but they’re up on our snow covered roof! So now what? I don’t see how anything could be blocking intake and my wife won’t let this 70-year-old venture up onto a snow covered roof.
If you have a blocked air intake pipe, but can't access the pipe termination thru the roof. Removing the front cover of the unit, and try to restart it by unplugging the cord for 30 seconds, to see if it works. That will allow the unit to draw in fresh air from the room it is located in and it should work temporarily until you can access the vent pipe termination to clean or thaw it. If that does not work, then it is likely a different problem.
The reason for the E110 error code is your exhaust and air intake vents are not installed properly. They need to be at least 12" apart (sideways and up and down), if you do not fix that then you will ruin your boiler, it can not run very long on it's own exhaust, it needs fresh air. Also if you would use the built in auto water feeder then you would not have your other problem. The outdoor thing is called an outdoor temperature sensor and not a thermostat as you named it. It is also not recommended to use vinegar to de-scale these boilers, you use a product called calci-free or similar, and if you don't know how to do that simple technique, then please wait to make videos until you have more experience. I am a Navien certified and trained contractor and if these boilers are correctly installed and maintained, you should never have a problem or any error codes, so please don't make them look bad with an incorrectly installed, error code producing unit. You should correct it and then make a video about how great it works!
I love when people come onto my page and tell me what I should or should not do in regards to if I should make a video. Clearly, I’ve helped a bunch of people if you look at the comments on my videos, and that’s all my intention was. To help when “pros” like you won’t help a homeowner. I don’t use technical terms because I’m not a “pro” like yourself. My navien has been just fine since my video of force filling the unit (there’s a technical term for you). Also, you must have been there on that snowy icy night with me when I got the e110 code and my intake and exhaust were covered with frost. It’s amazing because as soon as I cleaned it, the unit worked and hasn’t popped that error up again. Seems like I’ve debunked both your theories….but don’t worry, worry about if I use technical terms or not *sigh*
@@themillennialhomeowner1661 Sorry man, I didn't mean to come across so hard on you. I realize that I was critical, I apologize. Honestly, I was just trying to helpful. Please just take it for what it is worth to you. The reason your vent pipes were frosted shut that cold night is because the vent exhaust fumes/moisture is being sucked right into your fresh air intake pipe. That is why they need to be far enough apart so that doesn't happen. Your Navien needs fresh air to run correctly, when it sucks its own fumes back in, it will cause it to not burn properly and likely fail prematurely. Regarding your E351 error code (letting water in to the system by lifting up on the pressure regulator) I realize that has gotten a lot of people out a pinch when they had that low water pressure error code. And I commend you for that. However it is generally a temporary fix, because you will have to do it again when your pressure drops a little bit. You should adjust the water pressure regulator higher so that it maintains the correct water pressure automatically, thus having created a permanent fix! Obviously in your case that pressure regulator is set a little lower then what the Navien wants it to be, thus throwing the error code. (generally between 10 to 20 PSI is good) However the Navien also has a 1/2" connection on the bottom right back corner, that you can connect your water supply to (the same one that connects to your pressure regulator now) and that automatically maintains the correct system water pressure, and fills automatically when the water drops. That is the way all mine are done, and (knock on wood) I have never had that low water pressure error code yet. I am not trying to say that you have to do yours that way, just wanted to share some my experiences, so you can share them with others. I wish I had time to make videos like you do, I realize someone has to, maybe someday I won't be so busy.
I had a Navien installed several years ago by a pro, and I also have it descaled, serviced every fall, but it’s a money pit. First winter, at circulator pump went out, had to wait for it to ship from California. Granted they overnight shipped, but no heat or hot water, in the northeast, was brutal. The following winter, some valve inside stopped working, again overnight from California. Not long after that, the same valve again stopped working. A Navien technician, explained to the plumber how to try and get the valve working, over the phone. They again overnight ship the part, and wanted the old shipped back to them. I said “no way”, I’m keeping it, as a back up, in case. It was suggested to install a dirt magnet, so the valve didn’t get plugged with debris. Right now, we are waiting to get a water pressure (the one in video) what’s it, or perhaps the expansion tank replaced. All of these service calls add up, too. The first circulator pump, and after some argument, the next were still under warranty. But still had to pay plumber for his time. I have no idea how much this latest hiccup will cost me!
Thanks for sharing anything would help for homeowner like me. I like to work on things myself I don't like keep paying people to come in my house and keep raping me fir my money. If I know I can't really fix it then I call the pros.
Thanks for the feedback and thumbs down on the video, it’s appreciated! Fortunately or unfortunately this system was installed prior to me buying the home. So it’s been inspected and permitted by the town as it was oil heat converted to natural gas, so I’m not worried about it 👍🏻
Shouldn’t be making videos on a something you barely know anything about, yet alone not even a plumber. Flushing the heat exchanger is by far the simplest thing to do. Let alone this Navien is installed wrong.
@@jordanfarias4901 dude, where did I try to educate people? I legit said idk how to do it correctly therefore I’m not making a video on it because I wouldn’t tell people how to do something if I didn’t. Literally what your gripe is about I said in the video, so what’s your issue dude?
Just take that syli feeder out use house water line pressure to feed the boiler through the designed inlet, take 45 out of the exhaust on outside.

I cleaned the filter on the inside and I still am flashing arrow 110 what is my problem

The intake and the exhaust are too close together. This will void your warranty

Relax contractor, that’s why I didn’t make the video, didn’t you listen?
You had no business making this video. Trying to educate people on something you have no clue about. I’m relaxed.

Man you have no business making videos when you don’t understand why your baseboard pipes have water “ sloshing around” 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks boss!
Dear Thomas Maroney: Selassie. Bless. Thank you.
I for one, appreciate someone trying to explain, and educate, so hopefully, even though I can do these myself, maybe I won’t get fleeced!
