E-Tec Plus Combi Technology and Main Advantages
This attractive model is one of Alpha’s newest offerings to benefit from a whole host of decent features. It has a stainless steel heat exchanger to provide a high resistance to corrosion and increase boiler life, as well as a Grundfos pump that moves energy in an efficient manner. Both of these components also help to ensure you always have access to instant hot water.
The range includes two output sizes with different maximum hot water flow rates, which are as follows:
- E-Tec Plus 28kW Combi – 12.1 litres per minute
- E-Tec Plus 33kW Combi – 14.1 litres per minute
Due to its compact size, your installer won’t have any trouble fitting the boiler in small spaces including inside a kitchen or utility room cupboard. It also allows for quick and easy servicing as the components can be accessed from the front of the unit.
When it comes to boiler management, the E-Tec Plus Combi has push-button controls and a backlit LCD display to make adjusting temperatures a breeze. Plus, you have the option to purchase additional controls, such as a GasSaver, Climatic control and weather compensation probe.
Is the Alpha E-Tec Plus Combi the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
With two outputs on offer, the Alpha E-Tec Plus Combi is best suited to apartments and small to medium-sized houses. As no separate tanks or cylinders are needed with this one, the boiler is also a smart option for homes where loft and storage space is limited. The lower output of 28kW is ideal for smaller properties with smaller needs, and the higher 33kW output unit is best for larger homes with higher demands. But remember, this is just a rough guide, and you must always ask a Gas Safe engineer to help you determine the right boiler model and size for your property.
