Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
With an energy efficiency value of 92%, the Alpha Intec GS Combi is an A rated boiler that can help to save you money on your fuel bills. It has a built-in GasSaver that reclaims heat from waste flue gases and reuses the heat to provide hot water, which basically means this boiler uses less energy (up to 35% less) to heat your water. As you’ll be saving energy, your bills and carbon footprint will be much lower. The boiler also comes with a high efficiency Grundfos pump and hydroblock assembly to significantly reduce energy consumption.
Intec GS Combi Technology and Main Advantages
This ErP compliant combi boiler by Alpha has push-button controls and a backlit LCD display to enable you to set and adjust temperatures to suit your comfort levels. As the control panel provides detailed heating and hot water information, operation and maintenance are super-simple and straightforward. It also offers easy access for servicing and has the same connections as you would expect from a boiler with no exposed pipework.
The range includes two output sizes with different maximum hot water flow rates, which are as follows:
- Intec GS 26kW Combi – 12.8 litres per minute
- Intec GS 30kW Combi – 15.8 litres per minute
Alpha’s Intec GS Combi comes complete with an isothermic stainless steel heat exchanger, Grundfos pump and one-piece cartridge diverter valve. It also has a clip-on domestic hot water temperature sensor, as well as a GasSaver to take energy efficiency to the next level.
Is the Alpha Intec GS Combi the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
Since this model is available in two outputs, the Intec GS Combi is recommended for small to medium one bathroom homes without enough space to store a cold water tank or hot water cylinder. The boiler can be wall mounted in a variety of locations including in the kitchen, a utility room or even your airing cupboard. As a general rule, the 26kW boiler is ideal for small properties with low heating and hot water demands, and the 30kW unit is best for slightly larger dwellings with greater needs. However, this is only a rough guide, and you must consult a Gas Safe engineer to help you determine the right boiler model and size for your home.
