Suited to larger properties, the Navien LCB700 Regular is an easy to install upgrade for an older system.
If you have a traditional heating system at home, the Navien LCB700 Regular oil-fired boiler could be the ideal replacement. It offers blue flame technology for superb efficiencies and is perfect for installation next to your kitchen or utility units. However, this boiler doesn’t have to be installed indoors because you can choose between internal and external options, as well as a range of outputs to suit your requirements.
How Much Does this Boiler Cost?
The Navien LCB700 Regular comes with a 21kW, 28kW or 36kW output and will set you back anything between £1,445 and £1,980, not including installation. All external models cost a bit more than the internal versions, but there isn’t much price difference. As oil regular boiler installation costs can vary, we recommend comparing prices by getting quotes from local and national installers. Always ask for a fixed-price quote that includes the cost of a new boiler and the installation.
How will I know if this Boiler is Suitable for My Home?
Navien’s LCB700 Regular is a modern oil-fired regular boiler that requires tanks in your roof space and a separate cylinder for storing hot water, making it unsuitable for homes where space is limited. This regular boiler includes internal and external options and is suited to homes with multiple bathrooms and those looking to upgrade a traditional heating system.
You must select the correct boiler size/output for your property and will likely need to seek advice from a qualified heating engineer. An engineer can visit you in your home to determine the most suitable boiler size (kW output) for your needs.
Is it a High Efficiency Boiler?
Yes. The Navien LCB700 Regular is a 93% energy efficient oil boiler with an ErP A rating. This boiler is also endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust, an independent organisation and a trusted voice on energy efficiency.
Does this Boiler have a Good Range of Controls and Features?
It does. The Navien LCB700 Regular has a built-in control panel for easy setup and programming and a stainless steel heat exchanger to prevent corrosion and increase boiler lifespan. It features a blue flame burner for maximum efficiencies and a smart forecast check that monitors the weather forecast and adjusts the boiler accordingly. This regular boiler also boasts geofencing capabilities and will turn on or off based on your location so that you can benefit from maximum comfort.
How long is the Warranty on this Boiler?
If you choose to have the Navien LCB700 Regular installed, it will come with a generous 10-year warranty as standard.
