ecoTEC Plus Hiigh Output System Technology and Main Advantages
The ecoTEC Plus High Output System has removable front and side panels to offer easier access to all of the components, along with an internal rain collector to eliminate the risk of rain ingress from the flue system. It features a gunmetal air separator with system pressure gauge, which removes emissions and provides a removable front cover for hassle-free servicing and cleaning.
As we mentioned above, this boiler has a stainless steel heat exchanger to minimise waste whilst the system is in operation and to help reduce NOx and CO2 emissions. Built-in two-stage frost protection is included as well to make sure the boiler performs brilliantly all year round.
There’s a large backlit display so that you can always adjust and manage the appliance, even when installed in a dimly lit area of the home. This model also comes with a step by step full text installation wizard to allow for quicker installation and to ensure the boiler is set up right the first time around.
Is the ecoTEC Plus High Output System the Right Boiler Type and Size for Your Home?
Since this model offers you the choice of two high outputs, it is the ideal solution for large domestic properties with multiple bathrooms and a need for a constant supply of hot water to all taps at the same time. And remember, this boiler requires a hot water cylinder so it’s the perfect replacement if you have one already installed and don’t have enough loft space for a cold water tank. We do, however, suggest that you use this information as a rough guide because this boiler won’t be suitable for all large homes. With this in mind, you must ask a Gas Safe engineer to look at your heating and hot water usage habits to help you find the right sized boiler.
