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

With an output of 24kW, 28kW, or 34kW, the Ferroli Bluehelix Tech RRT Combi is ideal for most small and medium-sized homes. This combi boiler does not require any additional water storage tanks, making it a good choice for properties where space is limited. Combi boilers tend to struggle to meet high water demand, so this boiler will not be suitable if you have an excessive need for hot water and often use more than one bath or shower at the same time. 

The most reliable way to determine the right boiler type and size for your home is to consult a qualified heating engineer.

It is. The Bluehelix Tech RRT Combi from Ferroli achieves 94% seasonal heating efficiency and is ErP A-rated for space heating and hot water, so it should play its part in lowering your carbon emissions. This combi boiler is also designed for use with solar systems to help reduce running costs.

The Ferroli Bluehelix Tech RRT Combi is an energy-efficient boiler with a large multi-functional graphic display to make setting the controls quick and easy. It has an ‘Eco’ mode for heating water using traditional methods, a ‘Comfort’ mode to make the hot water supply faster and more efficient, and a ThermobalanceTM heat exchanger with larger than standard waterways for greater efficiency and longer life. Also, the boiler is said to be so quiet that you barely know it’s on unless you look at the display panel.
