Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
The Baxi Platinum Combi is a top-of-the-range combination boiler that is Energy Saving Trust recommended and has a SEDBUK A rating for energy efficiency. While the boiler is energy efficient as it comes, you can use it with a range of optional accessories to boost performance and efficiency levels. For example, you can purchase a weather compensation device that communicates between the boiler and outside temperature sensor to enable the Platinum Combi to alter the flow temperature in relation to the weather. The boiler is also compatible with the uSense smart room thermostat that allows you to control your heating via a smartphone or tablet.
Platinum Combi Technology and Main Advantages
Baxi’s Platinum Combi is an easy to use boiler that provides instant hot water and can heat your home quickly. If you have young children, this appliance is ideal because all of the user controls are concealed via a panel at the front of the unit.
The range includes four output sizes with different maximum hot water flow rates, which are as follows:
- Platinum 24kW Combi – 9.8 litres per minute
- Platinum 28kW Combi – 11.5 litres per minute
- Platinum 33kW Combi – 13.5 litres per minute
- Platinum 40kW Combi – 16.4 litres per minute
Not only is the boiler user-friendly but it makes life easy for your installer as it comes with a whole host of useful features, such as a full wall-mounting jig, built-in filling loop and 1-metre mains cable. In addition to this, the Platinum Combi has built-in frost protection to protect the boiler when installed in a loft or garage. Plus, the boiler allows for versatile siting, which is thanks to the wide choice of flue lengths that can be supplied with the unit.
Is the Baxi Platinum Combi the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
The Baxi Platinum is a compact wall-mounted boiler that does not require bulky tanks or cylinders because it heats water directly from the mains, making it perfect for flats and houses where space is limited. As a rough guide, most flats and small properties with 1 bathroom and around 10 radiators will be fine with the 24kW unit. The 28kW and 33kW units are best suited to medium to large-sized homes with 1 bathroom, 1 ensuite and up to 15 radiators. Larger houses will require the 40kW combi, which will comfortably heat 20 radiators and provide plenty of hot water to 2 bathrooms. However, as every home is unique, you must ask a Gas Safe engineer to assess your property to help determine the right output for you.
