The Baxi Megaflo 32 boiler could be suitable for your house or flat if you are looking for a new system boiler.
System boilers, like regular boilers, require a hot water cylinder (usually placed in a landing or airing cupboard) to work but they don’t require a separate cold water tank. This makes installation quicker and easier and, for homeowners with little loft space or who are considering a loft conversion, they're a more suitable choice.
System boilers don't need separate water tanks because they contain built-in circulating pumps that perform the same task. Just like heat only boilers, they require you to program in the times when you want heating and hot water to be available - they don't offer instant hot water like combi boilers. The cylinders keep whatever water they contain warm, although, if there is no hot water in the tank, you will have to wait up to an hour before hot water will come through your taps.
You should make sure that the boiler you choose for your property is the right "size". And size doesn't mean its physical dimensions. Size means how much power it has - the "output".
A boiler's output level measures how much power it can use to provide you with the hot water you need for your radiators and taps. If a boiler has a high output rate, it can heat greater volumes of water.
If you choose a boiler with too low an output, you'll find that the water coming out of your taps and in your radiators won't be as hot as you want it to be. Choosing one whose output is too high means you'll pay more than you need to for the gas your boiler needs to work.
The Baxi Megaflo 32 system outputs at a maximum of 32 kW, so which types of property would this Baxi Megaflo 32 System boiler be appropriate for?
An experienced Gas Safe engineer would say that this Baxi Megaflo 32 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 Baxi Megaflo 32 boiler measures 780 mm [H] x 450 mm [W] x 345 mm [D] in size.
Condensing gas boilers like the Baxi Megaflo 32 are environmentally friendlier and cheaper to run so, if possible, we strongly recommend that you choose this or one of the very latest models.
Condensing boilers are much more efficient and economical to run because they contain a secondary heat exchanger that captures and recycles the warmth still present in the flue exhaust gases and the water vapour condensation for re-use, meaning that they use less gas to run.
Many homeowners are now worried about climate change and the damage they do to the environment from heating their homes has become a subject of increasing concern.
Central heating creates 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gases. And in Britain's larger cities, gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions.
Would choosing the Baxi Megaflo 32 system help the environment? Let's see what the statistics suggest.
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 Baxi Megaflo 32 was given an efficiency rating of 92% and a SEDBUK grading of "A".
All products that consume energy throughout their lifespan must comply with the Energy Related Products (ERP) Directive.
Companies are legally obliged to reduce harmful gas emissions at all stages of a product's life cycle, from initial manufacturing right through to final disposal as well as when the product is in actual use.
The Baxi Megaflo 32 scores "A".
The manufacturer offers a parts and labour warranty of 7 years on the Baxi Megaflo 32 boiler to new customers.

The Baxi Megaflo 32 is a gas system boiler.
System boilers need a hot water cylinder to work, which is normally situated in an airing cupboard or similar. However, unlike heat only boilers, system boilers don’t require a separate cold water tank, meaning they are a preferred option for some homeowners, especially those planning a loft conversion in the future.
They use (often built-in) circulating pumps to distribute hot water to your taps and radiators and installation is often easier from scratch with heat only boilers as there’s one less component (the water tank) to purchase and fit.
System boilers also need programming for heat and hot water and don’t offer this instantly. However, the cylinder can keep water hot for use afterwards so you shouldn’t have to wait around for your bath water so long as you set your timer and have it on long enough to heat the water you’ll need for the day.
Whether this Baxi Megaflo 32 System 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 Megaflo 32 system is 32 kW, so which types of property is this Baxi Megaflo 32 System boiler appropriate for?
Most experienced Gas Safe boiler installers would recommend this Baxi Megaflo 32 System boiler as a suitable option for larger properties including detached homes with no more than 15 or more radiators and two or more bathrooms.
Baxi’s Megaflo 32 is 780 mm tall, 450 mm wide, and 345 mm deep.
We always recommend to clients that they select the very latest condensing boiler for their home.
Condensing boilers like the Baxi Megaflo 32 are more efficient with the gas they use in operation, meaning that you'll benefit from lower fuel bills. Condensing boilers are also better for the environment.
They achieve their efficiency by capturing and recycling the heat still present in the water vapour condensation and flue exhaust gases created when a boiler burns gas to get the energy it needs. It then reuses that recycled heat to perform a number of tasks, including heating the colder water that comes back to your boiler via the radiator.
Concern for the environment is causing more and more homeowners to think about how they heat their homes and its impact on climate change.
14% of the total amount of greenhouse gases produced by the UK comes from the central heating systems we use. In some of Britain's biggest cities, gas boilers create dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere.
Do the available figures suggest that installing the Baxi Megaflo 32 system in your property would be an environmentally friendly choice?
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 Megaflo 32 scored an efficiency rating of 92% and a SEDBUK band rating of A.
The Energy Related Products Directive (ERP) was introduced in 2015 and applies to all products that consume energy throughout their lifetime, including during the manufacturing process and at the point of final disposal.
The purpose of the ERP is to ensure that companies create products that are kinder to the environment by reducing both the energy they use and the harmful emissions they produce.
The Baxi Megaflo 32 has an ERP rating of "A".
On the Baxi Megaflo 32, the manufacturer offers a parts and labour warranty of 7 years.
