Glow-Worm Ultimate Regular Open Vent Boilers
The Glow-Worm Ultimate3 Regular Open Vent Boiler will set you back around £870.00 including VAT and excluding the cost of installation.
Glow-Worm’s Ultimate3 Regular is a 25kW open vent boiler that is designed to suit homes where hot water demand is greater.
It’s compact dimensions measure 600mm (H) x 375mm (W) x 280mm (D), meaning it can be sited in a number of locations and is even small enough to be installed in a standard kitchen cupboard. By being a regular conventional boiler, it’s only ideal for properties with a traditional setup that is linked to a separate cold water tank and hot water storage cylinder.
The Ultimate3 Regular is a cost-conscious boiler with a typical price tag of £870.00, making it a lot more affordable than its more expensive competitors. It also comes with a 5-year parts and labour warranty but this will only be valid if your Gas Safe engineer registers the installation on the Glow-Worm Club Energy programme.
Boiler Energy Efficiency Credentials
Depending on the efficiency rating of your existing boiler, the Ultimate3 Regular could save you hundreds of pounds a year because it’s an energy-efficient A rated model. It even features a high-efficiency Grundfos pump, which helps to lower running costs and give the boiler the ability to adapt its output to meet your exact heating and hot water demands. Plus, efficiency levels can be boosted with the use of Glow-Worm’s optional intelligent controls including the popular MiGo Wi-Fi thermostat that can be controlled via an app.
Ultimate3 Regular Technology and Main Advantages
One of the great things about this model is its automotive grade aluminium heat exchanger, which is included to deliver superior boiler performance. There’s also the Grundfos pump we mentioned above to enhance efficiency and reduce wear and tear on components. By having such high-quality parts, the boiler is easy to install, maintain and service as well.
When it comes to boiler controls, the Ultimate3 Regular features a simple-to-use interface and modern LCD display to make adjusting and managing the unit easy and straightforward. The display is actually quite bright to enable you to change and confirm settings even when the boiler is located in a poorly lit room or area of your home.
Is the Glow-Worm Ultimate3 Regular the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
Regular boilers (often referred to as heat only, traditional or conventional boilers) are best for dwellings where a lot of hot water is used simultaneously and homes with a cold water tank and hot water cylinder already in place. As this regular boiler has a 25kW output, it’s a good option for various types of small to medium-sized properties. However, it’s impossible for us to say whether the Ultimate3 Regular can meet your needs without seeing your home, so you must consult with a Gas Safe engineer prior to purchasing this model.
