The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 boiler could be suitable for your house or flat if you are looking for a new system boiler.
System boilers are suitable for homes with a higher-than-average demand for central heating and water - for example, larger homes and larger families.
Tell the boiler when you want hot water using the control panel - it draws water from the mains, heats it and keeps it warm throughout the day in the hot water cylinder. As long as you remember to tell the boiler when you want hot water, you have a big enough cylinder, and there's not an unusually high demand for water on a particular day, you should have hot water whenever you need it.
System boilers do not require a cold water storage tank either, unlike heat only boilers, meaning they're cheaper, quicker and easier to install.
You should make sure that the boiler you install in your property is the right "size". And, by size, we don't mean how big it is, we mean how powerful it is - the "output".
Your boiler has to be powerful enough to heat all the hot water you need for your radiators and taps. Power is measured in kilowatts and the more kilowatts a boiler has available to it, the more water it can heat.
If the output (measured in kilowatts) is too high, you'll have all the power you need and more but your gas bills will be much higher. If it's too low, you'll often find that the water coming out of your taps and fed into your radiators is only lukewarm.
With the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 system's output at 98 kW, which types of property would this Alpha ProTec Plus 90 System boiler be most appropriate for?
A Gas Safe engineer would recommend that the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 system boiler would be an ideal installation option for larger properties including detached homes with 15 or more radiators and two or more bathrooms.
The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 occupies a space of TBC mm high by TBC mm wide and TBC mm deep.
We strongly recommend that you choose a condensing boiler like the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 - the technology is improving every year so the newer the boiler, the better.
A condensing boiler captures and recycles the warmth still present in flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation into heat, allowing it to perform more efficiently on tasks like heating the colder water returning from your radiators.
They also offer significant annual savings on household gas bills as well as being more environmentally friendly.
Environmentally-friendly heating has become an important issue for homeowners concerned about the accelerating pace of climate change.
Approximately 14% of the UK's greenhouse gas production is caused by our central heating systems. The gas boilers in larger urban areas of Britain are mainly responsible for emissions of toxic nitrogen dioxide.
Do the available figures suggest that installing the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 system in your property would be an environmentally friendly choice?
All boilers manufactured and installed in the UK are required by law to have an energy efficiency rating of at least 92%, equivalent to a good “A” rating on the SEDBUK scale. Before this, the minimum was 88% (ratings of 88% and 89% are equivalent to a high “B” SEDBUK rating and anything 90% or higher is an "A" rating).
A boiler's energy efficiency rating is designed to let you know how much energy is used and wasted during normal functioning.
The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 was given an efficiency rating of 92% and a band rating of "A".
The ERP (Energy Related Products Directive) is European legislation that aims to reduce the use of energy at all points during a product's life, from the point of manufacture to when it's in active use right through to final disposal.
The regulation aims to encourage manufacturers to create products that are more environmentally friendly and which reduce gas emissions associated with those products.
The ERP grading for the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 is "A".

The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 is an option you may wish to consider if you’re looking for a system boiler for your house or flat.
This type of boiler is better for larger homes and larger families where the demand for water is likely to be higher.
System boilers use a cylinder that draws water from the mains, heats it and then keeps it warm. The cylinder stores a large amount of water, meaning that you should have hot water all day. To be certain of this, make sure that you program your boiler to draw and heat water to meet times when demand is greater, like first thing in the morning before you and your family members go to work or school, and for the evening when everyone gets home.
Unlike heat only boilers, you won't need to find room in your attic for a cold water storage tank - suitable if you don't have an attic, your attic space is very limited, or you are planning an attic conversion in the near future.
Whether this Alpha ProTec Plus 90 System boiler is right for your property depends on its size or what its "output" level is. Size does not mean its physical dimensions, however - it means how powerful it is.
The output rating indicates how much energy a boiler can use in providing you with hot water and heat when you need it from your radiators and taps. The greater the output, the more water it can heat.
It's better to take advice on this from a registered installer because, if your boiler output is too low, your water and radiators might not get as hot as you would like them to be. However, if the output level is too high, you'll end up paying more on your gas bills than you need to.
Which types of property would this Alpha ProTec Plus 90 System boiler be appropriate for given its output of 98 kW?
An experienced Gas Safe engineer would say that this Alpha ProTec Plus 90 System boiler's level of output makes it suitable for installing in larger properties including detached homes with 15 or more radiators and two or more bathrooms.
The dimensions of the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 are TBC mm tall, TBC mm wide, and TBC mm deep.
The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 is a condensing gas boiler - this is the type of boiler we recommend to most clients because they're better for the environment and they will save money on annual fuel bills.
A condensing boiler captures and recycles the warmth still present in both the flue exhaust gases and water vapour condensation created when gas is burned to provide your boiler with power.
This means it needs less gas to operate and it uses this extra energy to perform a number of tasks, including heating the colder water that comes back to the boiler from the radiators in your home.
Environmentally-friendly heating has become an important issue for homeowners concerned about the accelerating pace of climate change.
The heating of our homes accounts for 14% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions. Especially in the big cities, gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions.
Will choosing a Alpha ProTec Plus 90 system boiler for your home be positive for the environment? Let's examine the figures.
All boilers manufactured and installed in the UK are required to have an energy efficiency rating of 92% or above (or a good “A” SEDBUK rating). Before April 2018, when the law changed, the minimum energy efficiency level permissible was 88% (86-90% is a SEDBUK "B" rating and 90%+ is an "A" rating).
A boiler's energy efficiency rating indicates the amount of energy used and wasted during normal operational performance.
Following its assessment, the Alpha ProTec Plus 90 was given an efficiency rating of 92% and a SEDBUK grading of "A".
The Energy Related Products Directive grades products according to the energy they consume and the harmful gas emissions they create, from manufacturing right through to final disposal, including how they're used by customers between these two points.
The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 is rated "A".
The Alpha ProTec Plus 90 boiler comes with a 5 year warranty for parts and labour.
