Possible Causes

Gas valve not fully opening on Baxi gas train, Incorrect gas supply pressure, Partially blocked burner or injectors, Faulty modulation control on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Gas adjustments must be done by a licensed technician.

User-level checks:

  • Check tap flow: Excessive flow can reduce outlet temperature. Partially close the tap to reduce flow and see if temperature increases.
  • Verify temperature setting: Ensure the Baxi control is set to the desired hot water temperature and not limited by an eco mode.

Professional: A gas-safe technician should check inlet and burner pressures, burner condition, and modulation control.
