The Alpha Protec Plus System is a fan-assisted condensing system boiler that is specifically designed for large properties where heating and hot water demands are greater.
It comes in four outputs of 50kW, 70kW, 90kW and 115kW, with the three larger units measuring in at 1038m (H) x 600mm (W) x 632mm (D). This model will require a separate hot water cylinder and can provide heating only for sealed central heating systems. However, it can be used with an open system if need be.
Priced at the more expensive end of the scale, the Protec Plus System with a standard 3-year warranty typically costs between £2,233.14 and £3,367.14. Please be aware that this guide price is for the boiler only and does not include installation fees.
Energy Efficiency Credentials
Alpha’s Protec Plus System is an A rated, ErP compliant system boiler with a seasonal space heating energy efficiency rating of 92%. Since it’s a condensing model, the boiler captures some of the heat that would otherwise escape and reuses this heat. This basically means that the appliance is more efficient as it uses waste heat to preheat the cold water that enters your boiler, helping to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your fuel bills along the way.
Protec Plus System Technology and Main Advantages
This efficient model by Alpha is equipped with a low power consumption pump and a frost thermostat that activates the pump and burner when the water temperature falls below 6 °C. It comes with a type B23 flue configuration to increase siting possibilities, but this can be changed to a type C with a flue adaptor kit.
Alpha’s Protec Plus System is suitable for single unit or cascade installations (where two or more boilers are used together to achieve a higher overall output). The boiler can also be supplied for use with natural gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Furthermore, all of the internal components can be accessed via the front of the unit to make servicing straightforward and less disruptive.
You’ll be pleased to learn that this boiler is user-friendly and features an LCD display and push-button controls to enable you to adjust the boiler and set temperatures in seconds. It even has built-in fault finding, an engineer mode for simple engineer setup and an external temperate mode which can be activated with an optional control.
Is the Protec Plus System the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
The Alpha Protec Plus System is for homes with larger output requirements and more than one bathroom. Put simply, this boiler is best suited to properties with very high heating and hot water demands and is even ideal for some commercial sites in need of a powerful boiler. If a higher output is required, it is possible to use two units together in cascade. Since you don’t need a feed or expansion tank, this model is also a great choice for dwellings with little or no loft space. Regardless of how big your home happens to be, you must ask a Gas Safe engineer to help you choose the right model and output to ensure your new boiler meets your needs.

Our Honest Opinion of the Ferroli Modena HE System
The Ferroli Modena HE System is a very efficient wall-hung boiler that’s economical to run and able to provide you with hot water from multiple taps without pressure loss. It’s also relatively quick and easy to install, regardless of where you choose to keep the unit.
With only three moving parts, this appliance makes servicing and maintenance cheaper and easier than most other system boilers out there today. By being super-easy to install, service and maintain, you can enjoy low installation and call-out costs as well. And thanks to its clear display and microprocessor control and adjustment system, you can always read the status of the boiler and have complete control over heating and hot water temperatures.
Although reasonably priced and wonderfully small, this budget boiler does not have a clean customer and engineer rating, with many individuals complaining about water leaks. Having said that, the Modena HE System has also received some glowing reviews, so it might be best to find out more about Ferroli and the quality of the brand’s boilers before actually purchasing this system.
Advice on Boiler Quotes and Gas Safe Engineers
As it is now a legal requirement for all boiler installers to be Gas Safe registered, you must only obtain quotes from engineers and companies who comply with the relevant gas safety legislation. You can check whether an installer is legally allowed to carry out gas work by viewing the details on their ID card or searching the Gas Safe Register online. It’s also important to ask each individual or business for a fixed price quote on the boiler and fitting work to ensure you get a better deal and avoid any hidden fees.
