Before you purchase this combi boiler, contact a range of local and national installers for a fixed-price quote on the boiler with installation to enable you to compare prices and get the best deal.

How will I know if this Boiler is Suitable for My Home?

Zanussi’s Ultra System uses an external cylinder to store hot water, meaning this boiler requires additional storage space. You need to have the correct size cylinder to avoid running out of stored hot water, and most people keep their cylinder hidden way in the airing cupboard or a utility room. Since this boiler comes in a variety of outputs and can cope with high hot water demand, it’s ideal for small, medium and large-sized homes with multiple bathrooms. If you currently have a system boiler, replacing it with the Zanussi Ultra System should be straightforward swap.

If you’re unsure about what boiler type and size are better suited to your home and needs, just ask a Gas Safe registered engineer to visit your home and work this out for you.
