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

All combi boilers (or combination boilers) are able to produce hot water on demand without the need for a hot water storage cylinder or cold water tank. This is great news if your home is on the small side or you don’t have any airing cupboard or loft space. Combi boilers are also the most popular boiler type in the UK because they ensure hot water is almost instant. When it comes to the ecoTEC Plus Combi, options are available for small, medium and large properties.

If you want to know whether this boiler is the right type for your household, you’ll need to consult a Gas Safe registered engineer who can assess your home and requirements. Whilst doing this, your chosen engineer can work out which heat output will meet your heating and hot water demands.

Is it a High Efficiency Boiler?

It offers low energy consumption and can reduce its maximum output to just 16% when it knows you need less heat, helping to cut the cost of your energy bills. If you want to use the minimum energy required to heat your home, you can purchase the intelligent VRC 700 or vSMART heating control that ensures you save even more money by making your system run in the most efficient way possible.
