Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
You’ll be pleased to know that the Betacom3 is an ErP A rated combination boiler with an efficiency rating of 94%. By being so efficient, the boiler will help to minimise the amount of energy you waste and play its part in reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint. The boiler is also compatible with the Glow-Worm MiGo app-based control, which automatically learns your energy needs to ensure the appliance runs in the most efficient way whilst meeting your heating and hot water demands.
Betacom3 Combi Technology and Main Advantages
Glow-Worm’s Betacom3 Combi features an automotive grade aluminium heat exchanger to maximise efficiency and improve boiler reliability. This component also makes the unit easy to install and maintain, meaning you should save money on installation and maintenance.
The range includes two output sizes with different maximum hot water flow rates, which are as follows:
- Betacom3 24kW – 10.0 litres per minute
- Betacom3 30kW – 12.4 litres per minute
In addition to the heat exchanger, the boiler comes with an in-built analogue timer to boost efficiency and give you full control over when your heating comes on and switches off. There’s also a bright LCD display and easy to use interface with this one, as well as spacing frame, pipe cover plate and inbuilt filling loop.
Is the Glow-Worm Betacom3 Combi the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
As this model is a combination boiler, it will heat water directly from the mains, so you won’t need a cold water tank in the loft or a hot water cylinder in your airing cupboard. This is good news if you live in a flat or a house where space is limited. The 24kW unit is designed to suit small properties with 1 bathroom and around 10 radiators, and the 30kW model is ideal for medium-sized dwellings with 1 bathroom, 1 ensuite and up to 15 radiators. However, this is only a rough guide, and you must always ask a Gas Safe engineer to take a look at your home and assess your usage habits before buying a new boiler.
