Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
Boasting an impressive efficiency rating of 94%, the Vokera Evolve System is an A rated boiler that complies with the ErP (Energy-related Products) Directive. But if you decide to use the boiler with an optional Vokera BeSMART internet-connected thermostat, it becomes A+ rated and efficiency levels can be improved by a further 4%. The appliance also has an efficiency indicator with screen that displays whether the unit is operating at ‘High’ or ‘Optimal’ efficiency.
Evolve System Technology and Main Advantages
The Evolve System is a user-friendly boiler that features a REC10 liquid crystal clear display user interface with a full text menu driven control. This enables you to navigate through the settings with ease and program heating on off at times in a matter of seconds. This easy to understand REC10 interface also provides full diagnostics to aid your service engineer.
Other key features include built-in frost protection to eliminate the risk of frost damage during the colder months, ACC (active combustion control) to reduce carbon emissions and an anti-seize function to prevent the pump and motorised valve from sticking. The Evolve System also has a superb 7:1 modulation ration which helps to maximise efficiency and user comfort, along with a carbon monoxide monitor which shuts down the boiler when excess carbon monoxide is present.
In addition to all of those features, the boiler comes with a pre-fixing jig and built-in filling loop, pump kick function, concealed service valves and embedded time clock to make the Evolve System easy to install.
Is the Vokera Evolve System the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
Since this system offers a variety of outputs, it will suit most small, medium and large properties in need of a constant supply of hot water to any number of taps at any one time. It’s a space-saving solution that can fit perfectly into many locations including a kitchen cupboard, so the boiler is also great for homes where space is limited. You will, however, need a hot water cylinder with this one. The 18kW and 24kW Evolve System units are better suited to smaller dwellings, the 30kW version will be best for medium-sized homes and the 35kW is ideal for larger properties with a greater demand for heating and hot water. Since this is only a rough guide, we recommend you always ask a Gas Safe engineer to assess your usage habits and help you choose the right size model.

Our Honest Opinion of the Vokera Evolve System
The Evolve System is Vokera’s best ever system boiler with the ability to reduce your energy usage and slash your energy bills by £200. This is made possible by attaching the optional BeSMART thermostat we mentioned earlier, which boosts efficiency and improves user comfort.

And because the boiler is loaded with various advanced and installer-friendly features, the installation work can be completed in a timely manner.
We particularly like the carbon monoxide monitor which alerts you by shutting down the boiler when any excess carbon monoxide is detected. What’s more, the system will not run until the issue has been fixed by a service engineer.
