If you want to find the best price, we recommend you get a fixed-price quote from local and national installers who are Gas Safe registered. 

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

All combi boilers, like the Baxi Duo-tec Combi, take water directly from the mains and provide hot water on demand. Combi boilers are space-saving heating systems because they do not require a tank in the loft or a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard. If you have more than one bathroom, you’ll likely need one of the higher kW models, but keep in mind that a combi boiler may struggle to cope when running two baths or showers at once. 

You must select the right boiler type and size for your needs, so be sure to consult a Gas Safe registered engineer to give you advice before making any decisions. 

Is it a High Efficiency Boiler?

Yes. The Baxi Duo-tec Combi is a condensing gas boiler and A-rated for heating and hot water. This combi boiler is also an Energy Saving Trust endorsed product, so you can rest assured it meets the highest energy efficiency standards. 

Does this Boiler have a Good Range of Controls and Features?

It does. The Duo-tec Combi from Baxi has user-friendly controls and an easy-to-read display to make controlling your heating a breeze. It also has a built-in frost thermostat to allow for installations in a loft or garage and comes complete with a wall mounting jig and a choice of flue lengths. Built using top quality brass components, the Baxi Duo-tec Combi is even compatible with the uSense smart control that lets you control your heating via a smartphone or tablet.
