The Baxi 800 825 may be worth considering if you are looking for a combi boiler for your house or flat.
Combi boilers were introduced by manufacturers in the 1970s to offer British homeowners a way to cheaply and reliably heat their homes and have hot water without taking up too much space. Previously, most boilers had one or more storage tanks, which either heated water and kept it warm or held water to be heated later.
With combi boilers, there is no need to find space for large tanks around your home as the hot water needed for your radiators and taps is available on demand. Combi boilers do this by drawing water from your mains supply, heating it instantly whenever you need it and then distributing it to where it's needed in the home.
The major disadvantage to combi boilers is that they have a maximum capacity for heating water. In a larger household, water pressure, volume and temperature will drop if two or more people are trying to use hot water at the same time.
You should make sure that the boiler you install in your property is the right "size". And size doesn't mean its physical dimensions, size means how much power it has - the "output".
Output measures in kilowatts how much power a boiler can use when heating water for your radiators or taps. The higher the output rate, the more water it can heat.
If the output rate is too low, your hot water might often be only lukewarm, and if it is too high, you will be paying more for your gas than you need to.
The Baxi 800 825 combi boiler has an output of 25 kW, so which types of property would it be most appropriate for?
An experienced heating engineer would say that this Baxi 800 825 Combi boiler's level of output makes it a suitable installation for smaller homes and apartments with up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.
Flow rates are important when choosing a combi boiler as well as output rates.
A combi boiler's flow rate (measured in litres per minute) describes how much water it can instantly heat then distribute to the taps and radiators in your home - you will need to factor this into your decision on a new combi boiler. This Baxi 800 825 Combi boiler's flow rate is 10 L/m.
If you have a lot of radiators and bathrooms in your home and there's lots of demand within your household for hot water at the same time (like morning or evening showers and baths), you'll need a boiler with a high flow rate.
However, it's not quite that simple. If your local mains water pressure is low, you're not going to gain any benefit from choosing a combi boiler with a high flow rate because that higher flow rate doesn't mean it can draw more water from the mains pipes.
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.
The Baxi 800 825 is 700 mm tall, 390 mm wide, and 285 mm deep.
We recommend the Baxi 800 825 as it is a modern condensing gas boiler from a trusted manufacturer with a reputation for supplying highly energy-efficient boilers.
Condensing boilers capture the heat still present in water vapour condensation and flue exhaust gases and recycle it back into the heating system. With this extra energy, your boiler can, among other tasks, reheat colder water coming back from your radiators without having to burn more gas.
Condensing boilers significantly reduce your quarterly gas costs and they're better for the environment.
With growing concern among the public about accelerating climate change, how we heat our homes and the impact this has on the environment has become a major topic of concern for many homeowners.
Around 14% of the greenhouse gases produced in the UK is a result of our central heating systems. Gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions in some of our largest cities.
Would choosing the Baxi 800 825 combi be an environmentally-friendly choice? If so, let's look at its performance figures.
All new British boilers must perform to a legal minimum energy efficiency of 92% (a low to good SEDBUK "A" rating). Prior to April 2018, the target was 88% (86-90% = SEDBUK "B" and 90%+ = SEDBUK "A").
Efficiency ratings are intended to let consumers know how much energy a boiler uses in its day-to-day activities and how much energy goes to waste.
The Baxi 800 825 was awarded an efficiency rating of 93%, equivalent to a SEDBUK grade of "A".
The Energy Related Products Directive intends to encourage all manufacturers to reduce the harmful gas emissions associated with the products they make, from the manufacturing stage to final disposal, including when they are in active use.
The Baxi 800 825 has an ERP rating of "A" for heat and "A" for hot water.
The Baxi 800 825 boiler comes with a parts and labour warranty of 10 years.

Baxi’s 800 825 is one you might consider if you’re looking for a combi boiler for your house or flat.
Traditional boilers would require you to install one or more storage tanks in your property. These tanks either kept the water warm or stored it for later heating. Manufacturers initially designed and introduced combi boilers to the market to offer homeowners the highest levels of warmth and unlimited hot water without taking up as much space.
Combi boilers provide hot water on demand for your radiators and taps. They take water directly from the mains, heat it immediately as it's needed, and then distribute the hot water around your home.
Combi boilers, however, are limited in terms of how much water they can heat at any given time. For example, if one person wishes to take a shower while another wants to turn on a hot water tap, the amount of water reaching each point drops. This results in a drop in the water pressure as well as the temperature.
Whether this Baxi 800 825 Combi boiler is right for where you live depends on its size or "output" level. Size does not mean its physical dimensions, however - it means how powerful it is.
Measured in kilowatts, a boiler's output level is an indication of the amount of power it has available to it to heat the water coming from your taps and for warming your radiators. The greater the output level, the more water it can heat.
If you choose a boiler whose output level is too low, you'll often find that the water is not as hot as you want it to be. If you choose a boiler whose level is too high, you'll be paying higher gas bills than you need to for years to come.
The output of the Baxi 800 825 combi is 25 kW, so which types of property is this Baxi 800 825 Combi boiler appropriate for?
A Gas Safe engineer would recommend that the Baxi 800 825 combi boiler is a suitable choice for smaller homes and apartments with up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.
With all combi boilers, you need to consider the "flow rate" as well as the output rate when making your decision.
Like all combi boilers, the Baxi 800 825 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. This Baxi 800 825 Combi boiler's flow rate is 10 L/m.
There is no benefit to purchasing a boiler with a high flow rate if the local water pressure is not that good - a high flow rate doesn't mean that your combi can draw more water from the mains.
In addition, if you live in a home with a large number of radiators and more than one bathroom and if more than one person regularly wants to use hot water at a time, a combi boiler may struggle to provide enough water at a hot enough temperature.
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.
The Baxi 800 825 boiler measures 700 mm [H] x 390 mm [W] x 285 mm [D] in size.
The Baxi 800 825 is a condensing boiler – we recommend to all clients that they choose the very latest condensing boilers because their efficiency continues to improve year after year.
Condensing boilers recycle heat from both water vapour condensation and flue exhaust gases via a secondary heat exchanger. With this heat, it performs other tasks like warming up colder water returning from your radiator without having to use more gas.
You will save money on your gas bills every year by choosing a condensing boiler as well as benefitting the environment.
More and more homeowners are aware of the importance of how we heat our homes and its impact on climate change and other environmental issues.
14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas production comes from central heating. In the bigger cities, gas boilers in particular are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions.
Do the figures suggest that installing the Baxi 800 825 combi at your property would help in the fight against climate change?
The energy efficiency rating for a boiler describes the amount of energy it uses and wastes during operation and there are two different ways to measure it.
All boilers manufactured and supplied in the UK must have a SEDBUK rating of “A” subject to a minimum energy efficiency score of 92% or above. Before April 2018, the minimum energy efficiency score was 88% (88/89% = "B" SEDBUK rating, 90%+ = "A" SEDBUK rating).
The Baxi 800 825 scored an efficiency rating of 93% and a SEDBUK band rating of A.
The ERP (or Energy Related Products Directive) is European legislation affecting products that consume energy throughout their lifetime.
The aim is to encourage companies to create environmentally friendlier products that reduce harmful gas emissions during manufacturing and when in use by the end client, right through to their eventual disposal.
In the case of the Baxi 800 825, the ERP rating is "A" for heat and "A" for hot water production.
The Baxi 800 825 is covered by a parts and labour warranty of 10 years following installation.
