How this boiler works

A cylinder-based gas system boiler with four heating-output choices, rather than an instantaneous combi.

Heating and hot-water specifications

Natural-gas specification table: heating at 80/60°C; condensing heating at 50/30°C. LPG conversion is supported but no LPG performance figure is inferred.

Navien documents natural-gas/LPG conversion for these configurations using the supplied kit. A Gas Safe engineer qualified for LPG must verify the correct kit, gas supply and manual, then convert, label and commission the appliance. The displayed output, flow and efficiency figures are natural-gas data, not verified LPG performance.

Model designations are verified; a separate merchant SKU or retail order code has not been verified and must be confirmed before ordering.

A+ is a conditional package rating with the specified Navien Smart Plus controls, not the appliance alone. Lift weight and shipping weight can differ. The product page lists three weight figures for four configurations; individual mapping needs confirmation from the model manual.

Outlet descriptions are manufacturer guidance, subject to sufficient measured water flow and dynamic pressure, outlet temperatures and pipework. Bathroom count alone does not establish delivery or suitability.

Key benefits

The 15, 18, 24 and 30 models provide different heating ranges in a compact casing. Smart Plus and Multikit compatibility are documented, subject to the selected installation design.

Key takeaway

Specify the boiler alongside cylinder capacity, recovery and safety controls. A system-boiler heating rating is not a tap-flow rating.

Warranty and ongoing care

The model-specific UK page advertises 10 years of boiler warranty.

System-water treatment and any required protection components must meet the selected manual. Maximum cover is not automatic; the written quotation confirms actual cover. No manufacturer accreditation or paid extension entitlement is assumed. Any proposed extension, qualifying components or installer eligibility must be verified before agreement. Component-only cover must not be presented as whole-boiler cover.

Continue your assessment

The Finder can shortlist individual configurations from your fuel and design answers. LPG conversion compatibility is recorded, but LPG-specific performance and supply must be confirmed at survey. Final output is subject to heat-loss, water and installation assessment.

Installation and pricing

The installed price for your selected boiler is confirmed after assessment. The quotation covers the appliance, controls, flue, system preparation and any required pipework. A conversion or relocation can have a different scope from a straightforward replacement.

Installation pricing

Price confirmed following assessment for this configuration. The general New boiler installations from £1,790 inc. VAT offer does not apply to every model or property.

From or indicative prices remain provisional. SwiftHeat issues a written fixed quotation for the agreed scope after the appropriate property and installation assessment, technical checks and warranty-package verification. Remote information gathering may be suitable initially; a home survey is required where the necessary checks cannot be completed remotely.

Your home comes first

We assess heat loss, heating and hot-water requirements, water supply, controls and installation access before recommending an appliance. Bedroom count or a catalogue model number alone cannot establish the right boiler.
