Remeha Boiler Error Code H.01.05

DIY checks firstReviewed November 2026Checked against manufacturer documentation
What this code means
H.01.05: Maximum difference between flow and return temperature exceeded

With H.01.05 the difference between the flow and return temperatures becomes too large. That usually points to too little flow: air in the system, low pressure or a pump that is not running properly. Bleeding and topping up often helps; otherwise an installer must check the pump, the heat exchanger and the sensors.

Also shown as: H01.05

Applies to: Remeha Ace platform (Tzerra Ace, Calenta Ace, Avanta Ace)

Common causes

  1. No or too little flow, for example because of air in the system, low water pressure or a fouled heat exchanger
  2. Fault in a temperature sensor or in how it is fitted

What to check, in order

Safety first. A boiler works with gas, electricity and hot water under pressure. Never open the casing or touch anything inside it. In the Netherlands, work on a gas boiler may only be done by a certified company (CO-vrij). The checks on this page stay on the outside: water pressure, thermostat, radiators and the reset button. If you smell gas, leave the building and call the national gas emergency number 0800-9009 (Netherlands).
  1. Check the water pressure on the display or pressure gauge and top up the system to about 1.5 to 2 bar if needed.
  2. Open the radiator valves and bleed the radiators and the system.
  3. Wait until the boiler clears the blocking itself, or reset once, and see whether the code stays away.
  4. If the code returns, call a qualified installer.

Clear the code and test

  1. Fix what the checks above found first — pressure topped up, a radiator bled, the thermostat set right. Resetting without fixing the cause only brings the code back.
  2. Make sure the boiler has power and the gas tap at the boiler is open.
  3. If the water pressure is below 1.5 bar, top it up to between 1.5 and 2 bar with the filling loop, as your manual shows.
  4. Press the reset button once and watch a full cycle: the boiler should start, heat the radiators or the tap water, and keep running without the code coming back.

When to call a professional

Most cases are solved by the checks above. Book a technician if any of these apply:

  • The code comes back after you have run the checks and a test cycle.
  • You smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, or the breaker trips.
  • Water is leaking and you cannot stop it.
  • The fix needs panels opened beyond what your manual describes, or a part tested with a meter, and you are not set up for that.

When you call, give the brand, the code H.01.05, your model number (on a label on the type plate, usually at the bottom or on the side of the boiler) and the checks you already ran. It shortens the visit.

Parts are model-specific. Find your model number first — usually on a label on the type plate, usually at the bottom or on the side of the boiler — and match the part to that number before ordering.
