Baxi EcoBlue Advance Heat

The Baxi EcoBlue Heat Advance is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to replace an old inefficient conventional boiler.

Baxi’s EcoBlue Advance Heat is known for being one of the lightest boilers in the UK, weighing in at just under 20kg. It’s also extremely compact and can be installed pretty much anywhere in a small, medium or large home, including inside a kitchen cupboard. If you’re looking for a conventional boiler that is A-rated for efficiency and has a lengthy warranty, the EcoBlue Advance Heat could be right up your street.

How Much Does this Boiler Cost?

EcoBlue Advance Heat prices vary according to the boiler output and typically range between £770 and £985 including VAT. The boiler comes in six outputs of 13kW, 16kW, 19kW, 21kW, 25kW and 30kW, with the highest output being the most powerful and expensive. You will need to factor in the cost of installation as well, which can vary greatly depending on how much work is required to fit the boiler. If you want to find the best price on the boiler and the installation, you’ll need to shop around and compare quotes.

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

No matter which heat output you choose, the EcoBlue Advance Heat must be installed with a cold water tank and a hot water storage cylinder because it’s a conventional boiler (also known as a traditional, regular or heat only boiler). If you have more than one bathroom or tend to use a lot of hot water at once, a conventional boiler will be capable of meeting your demands. These types of boilers are also ideal for properties where mains water pressure is not at its best.

Since it’s extremely important that you choose the right type and size of boiler for your property, you must consult a Gas Safe registered engineer prior to replacing your boiler with the EcoBlue Advance Heat. A qualified heating professional will need to assess your home and requirements before recommending a suitable boiler model and kW output.

Is it a High Efficiency Boiler?

It is. The Baxi EcoBlue Advance Heat achieves 89.2% efficiency and is A-rated as a result. What does this mean for you if you purchase the boiler? Well, you’ll not only cut your fuels bills but also reduce your carbon footprint. This boiler also happens to be endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust, an organisation that helps people save energy. Furthermore, it’s compatible with Megaflo Eco Cylinders that help to maximise energy efficiency and improve hot water performance.

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

User controls include a reset and operating mode selector switch, as well as an adjustable central heating temperature control. The EcoBlue Advance Heat also features a clear LED status and fault diagnosis display that lets you know the operating status and alerts you if and when certain boiler problems appear. This boiler comes with a choice of flue lengths, along with a top and in case rear flue for ease of installation and to provide flexible siting options. It also has front and side access to all of the internal parts to make installation and servicing straightforward.

How long is the Warranty on this Boiler?

If you go on to purchase the Baxi EcoBlue Advance Heat, you’ll receive a 7-year parts and labour warranty as standard. To keep the warranty valid, you’ll need to get a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out a service each year.
