What kind of boiler is the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 - standard, combi or system?

Looking for a gas combi boiler for your flat or house? Then the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 may be an option you should consider.

A combi boiler could be a better choice than a standard boiler if space is at a premium in your home. Combi boilers draw water directly from the mains supply and heat it instantly, removing the need for a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank.

Water is heated on demand and then distributed directly to your taps and showers. This means that combi boilers use less fuel and so reduce your gas bills.

The main disadvantage to combi boilers is that they can only heat a limited volume of water at any given time. If more than one tap or shower is in use, the hot water supply to both could be restricted and both the water pressure and temperature will drop.

Is the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 combi boiler suitable for my house or apartment?

Selecting the right boiler for your property means selecting a boiler that is the right size. And, by size, we don't mean how big it is, we mean how powerful it is - the "output".

The output of a boiler is measured in kilowatts. The output level determines the maximum power a boiler can use in heating the water needed for the baths, showers, taps and radiators in your home.

It's important to choose a boiler with an appropriate level of output for your property. Your boiler should be able to cope with periods of peak demand in your property and not just your average usage.

An output rate that is too low will result in an inadequate supply of hot water, while an output that is too high will mean the boiler will cost more to run than is necessary.

The output of the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 combi is 22 kW kilowatts, so which types of property would this be appropriate for?

A PlumbProud Gas Safe boiler installer would recommend that this Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 Combi boiler be installed in smaller homes and apartments with one bathroom and up to 10 radiators.

With all combi boilers, the "flow rate" (measured in litres per minute) is as important a consideration as output rate when choosing which model to go for. This Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 Combi boiler's flow rate is 11 L/m.

Like all combi boilers, the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 draws water from the mains. It instantly heats that water and then distributes it to the parts of your home which need it - taps, radiators, bathrooms, and so on.

However, the water in the mains pipe that feeds your boilers has its own flow rate - normally between 10 and 12l/m. So if you choose a combi with a flow rate of 14l/m but local water pressure is equivalent to 11l/m, your boiler will actually operate at 11l/m - below its capacity.

In addition, if different family members want hot water at the same time (like for regular morning and evening showers) and your boiler has to provide hot water to your radiators at the same time, a combi boiler may not be suitable.

When our engineer comes out to quote you, they may recommend that you choose a heat only boiler or system boiler instead if your family's demand for hot water is higher than normal.

Where will the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 fit in my house?

The Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 measures TBC mm in height by TBC mm in width by TBC mm in depth.

Is the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 condensing or non-condensing?

Because of their increased energy efficiency, we recommend to all customers that they select one of the latest condensing boilers. Condensing boilers capture the heat from water vapour condensation and flue exhaust gases and recycle that heat to warm water entering the boiler (for example, from your radiators).

The Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 is a condensing gas boiler and choosing this model will result in a likely substantial reduction in your fuel bills, particularly if you're replacing an older, inefficient, non-condensing boiler.

Is the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 combi an energy-efficient boiler?

With more and more of us concerned about environmental issues and climate change, how we heat our homes has become an important issue to many homeowners.

In the UK, central heating systems account for 14% of greenhouse gas production. Gas boilers in particular are responsible for emissions of dangerous nitrogen dioxide in British cities.

Would choosing the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 combi boiler be an environmentally friendly decision? Here's what the figures say.

In the UK, by law, all boilers manufactured since April 2018 must have a SEDBUK “A” rating and operate to a minimum level of 92% energy efficiency. Prior to this, the minimum was 88% – 88/89% would score a "B" and 90% or more an "A" on the SEDBUK scale.

The energy efficiency rating measures the amount of energy a boiler consumes when it's in use and how much it loses on non-core operations.

Following testing, the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 was given an efficiency rating of 94% 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 Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 is rated "A" for heat and "A" for water.

Does a Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 combi boiler come with a warranty period?

The manufacturer offers a parts and labour warranty of 12 years on the Ariston GENUS ONE NET 24 boiler to new customers.
