Elnur Mattira 5 Combi - a combi boiler, system boiler or regular boiler?

Looking for a electric electric Flow boiler for your house or flat? If you are, the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi boiler may be worth considering.

Traditional boilers often have up to two tanks that either store heated water or water to be heated later. Boiler manufacturers introduced combi boilers in the 1970s to avoid the need for those big tanks. Combi boilers allow homeowners to benefit from the reliable central heating and hot water level they want but without having to give up so much space within their properties - remember that homes in the UK are among the smallest in the developed world.

Your taps and radiators get the hot water they need with a combi boiler. Combi boilers draw cold water direct from the mains which is then heated instantly on demand and distributed to your radiators and taps.

However, combi boilers cannot heat very large volumes of water, which is their main disadvantage. So, for example, when someone wants to take a shower while another person wants to use a hot water tap to do the dishes, water pressure and quantity to both points decreases.

Is a Elnur Mattira 5 Combi electric Flow boiler suitable for my apartment or house?

Whether this Elnur Mattira 5 Combi Electric Flow boiler is right for where you live depends on its size or "output" level. Size does not mean its physical dimensions - it means how powerful it is.

A boiler’s output is a measurement of the amount of power it can use to provide hot water to your taps and radiators. The higher its output rate, the more water it can heat.

If your new boiler’s output is too low, your hot water might not be as hot as you want it to be. If it's too high, you’ll be paying more for electric than you need to.

The output of the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi electric Flow boiler is 5 kW, so which types of property would this be appropriate for?

A Gas Safe boiler installer would recommend that this Elnur Mattira 5 Combi Electric Flow boiler would provide adequate heating and hot water for smaller homes and apartments with up to up to 10 radiators and one bathroom.

The dimensions of the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi are

The Elnur Mattira 5 Combi has the following dimensions - TBC mm high, TBC mm wide, and TBC mm deep.

Is the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi condensing or non-condensing?

Since 2005, all oil or gas boilers manufactured or installed in the UK must be more efficient condensing boilers. What this means is that the warmth present in exhaust gases created by the burning of oil or gas must be recycled via a secondary heat exchanger to, for example, heat water coming back from the radiators. As electric boilers like the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi do not burn fuel, they are exempt from this law as they are more efficient and economical by design.

How energy efficient is the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi electric Flow?

With more and more people concerned about climate change, how we heat our homes and the damage it does to the environment is increasingly being questioned by British homeowners.

As much as 14% of the UK’s greenhouse gas production derives from our domestic central heating systems. Gas boilers are responsible for dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide emissions in Britain's largest cities.

If you would like your next boiler to help in the fight against climate change, would the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi electric Flow be a suitable choice?

All boilers manufactured and supplied in the UK from April 2018 must achieve a SEDBUK “A” rating and an energy efficiency rating of 92% or above. Before that, the minimum was 88% - 88% and 89% energy efficiency was given a “B” rating and 90%+ an "A".

A boiler's energy efficiency rating describes how much energy it uses and wastes during its standard operation.

The energy efficiency of the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi was rated at 100% with a SEDBUK grading of "D".

The boiler is however penalised in its ERP ratings for using electricity for power.

In 2015, new legislation was introduced by the EU to encourage manufacturers to develop more energy-efficient products that emit fewer harmful gases throughout their lifetime.

The Energy Related Products Directive (ERP) applies to all products that consume energy, including during the manufacturing process, at the point of final disposal, and all points in between.

This Elnur Mattira 5 Combi Electric Flow boiler has been awarded an ERP rating of "TBC".

Given that, operationally, the energy efficiency of electric boilers is nearly always 98% or 99%, why the low score? It's because the electricity used to power the boiler is generated through the burning of fossil fuels and this is considered carbon-intensive. As a result, some boiler ERP scores are (in our opinion) unfairly marked down.

How many years does the warranty period cover on a Elnur Mattira 5 Combi boiler?

The parts and labour warranty on the Elnur Mattira 5 Combi covers all repair-related costs for 2 years while the heat exchange warranty covers you for [Heat Exchange Warranty] years.
