Baxi Boilers

Baxi offers an extensive range of combi boilers but combis are not the right solution for every home. Let’s look at the pros and cons of Baxi combi boilers.

Combi boilers are compact – you can fit most of them comfortably behind a kitchen cupboard freeing up space around your home. You don’t have to find room for heating cylinders or water tanks unlike with a regular boiler or system boiler.

They save you money on your energy costs thanks to their very high levels of energy efficiency. And they provide the hot water you need for taps, showers, and radiators on demand.

However, the fact that combi boilers get their water from the mains could also be an issue. If you live in an area with low water pressure and more than one person wants to use a hot water tap at the same time, then both will suffer from a drop in pressure and temperature.

If you have more than one bathroom in your property, it may actually be better to invest in a system or heat only or system boiler instead as they can provide hot water at consistent pressure levels to multiple points of demand.

Plus, if your combi boiler breaks, you lose both heating and hot water. Combi boilers are more technically complicated than other types of boiler meaning that, if there is a fault, they can take longer to fix.

Combi boilers and system boilers operate in completely different ways to each other. A system boiler requires a hot water tank in which its heat and keeps warm water which it sends to points around your home when required.

Because combi boilers heat up water directly from the mains, you don’t need to find room for a hot water tank in your property. However, unlike combi boilers where water pressure drops if two or more people are using hot water taps at the same time, there is no drop in pressure with a system boiler.

Heat only boilers, sometimes called regular boilers or open vent boilers, use two tanks (hot water and cold water) and a series of valves to distribute hot water simultaneously to multiple points within a household simultaneously. They’re more suitable for larger homes where different family members may need to use different bathrooms at the same time before they go to school or work.

Combi boilers have no storage tanks because they draw water directly from the mains when there is a demand for hot water. Because the amount of water it can distribute to taps, showers, and radiators is governed by mains water pressure, flow rates, and central heating system output levels, combi boilers struggle when more than one person wants hot water in a home.

If we’re simply replacing your old boiler with a new Baxi boiler in the same location, the work should take no more than six hours in most cases.

If you want us to remove your current boiler and install your new boiler in a different location in your property, this may take 2 days depending on the complexity of the fit.

The prices shown next to every boiler on our website are indicative prices. That’s what we think, in most cases, we’ll charge you for supplying and installing your boiler assuming we’re not doing major piping repairs or replacements.

95% of the installations we do are simple installations. The prices our customers pay are normally 5% either way of the indicative price they’ve seen on our website.

For the 5% of jobs which require extensive piping work or where we’re moving your boiler from one place to another within your home, you should consider the prices shown against each new boiler as a base price.

When visiting potential and existing customers in their homes to quote them for work, there are certain issues and concerns which they bring up with us about purchasing a new boiler.

The PlumbProud scoring system is our attempt to provide you with an idea of how closely each boiler comes to fully addressing those concerns and issues. We compare the specifications of each boiler to all the other boilers we sell and to what our customers ultimately want from their new boiler.

The perfect score is 100% but no boiler has achieved…yet. We would ask you to think that the closer a boiler is to 100%, the more likely it is to successfully address and overcome the issues and concerns you have about choosing a new boiler.
