Navien boilers
Navien is best known for combis that deliver unusually high hot water flow rates, making it a sensible option for a property that wants combi simplicity but places more demand on hot water than a typical combi can handle. Navien also makes oil boilers, though Ninja Plumbers covers the gas range only.
The Navien range
Navien belongs to KD Navien, a South Korean heating company that is a major name at home and in North America, and it reached the UK later than most of the brands we cover. Its UK gas range is built around combis designed for more hot water flow than usual, for homes that want a combi but have more than one bathroom. A high-flow combi can only deliver what the incoming mains gives it, and in parts of London the mains is the limit.
What we see on Navien boilers
- High-output combis specified for properties with heavy hot water demand
- Controls and sensor faults rather than mechanical wear
- Installations where flow rate was the reason for the choice
- Incoming mains too weak for the flow the boiler can deliver
- Scale on the hot water side, which a high-flow combi feels sooner
These are patterns Ninja Plumbers sees across the Navien installed base, not a diagnosis of your boiler. Faults are identified on site before anything is quoted.
Servicing a Navien
Navien’s warranty usually asks for the boiler to be registered and serviced every year — check your warranty terms for the details. A high-flow combi moves more water through its heat exchanger than most, so in hard-water London the scale reducer on the incoming mains deserves a look at every service. If the boiler is not giving the flow it should, the service is a good time to measure the incoming mains, because the cause may be outside the boiler.
Repair or replace?
Most Navien installations in London are fairly recent, so check the warranty first, and expect repair to be the answer. Faults tend to be sensors and controls rather than wear. Parts may need ordering, which can mean a wait. On an older unit with a major failure outside warranty, ask whether you still need a high-flow combi before replacing like for like.

Navien questions
- Can a Navien combi really run two showers?
- The higher-output models deliver considerably more flow than a standard combi, but the honest answer depends on your incoming mains supply as much as the boiler. If the mains cannot deliver the flow, no combi can. We measure the incoming supply before recommending one.
- Does a high-flow combi cost more to run?
- Not in itself. A combi burns gas only while it is heating water or radiators, so running costs follow how much hot water you use, not how much the boiler could deliver.
- Is Navien a new brand?
- Not new, just newer to the UK. Navien has made heating products in Korea for decades and is widely used in North America. The UK installed base is smaller, which is why parts are sometimes ordered in.
- Do you repair and service Navien boilers?
- Yes. Gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, which is the legal requirement for working on any gas boiler regardless of make.
