Our thoughts:
The Baxi 600 Boiler is a well-designed boiler range and is available in the three most common boiler types – system, combi and regular options, meaning there is an option to suit every home.
As it’s of a smaller size, it’s perfect for installation in properties with limited space. As it’s available in a wide variety of outputs, there is an option to accommodate almost any size home or household’s hot water requirements.
It has been engineered to operate at a low volume. While it is not as powerful as other models on the market, it is popular due to its affordability and ease of installation.
An award-winning global brand
Baxi has won awards for its customer service and innovation. Designed in The Netherlands and manufactured in the UK in factories in Preston and Norwich, Baxi has a reputation for reliability and locally available support, with their customer service team being based in Warwickshire.
Choose the right model for your needs
The Baxi 600 range is available in combi, system and regular boiler options, and in a range of kW, making it suitable for nearly every home.
A combi boiler heats water directly from the mains, as well as providing efficient heating from one unit. Instant heating reduces energy waste and helps to minimise water inefficiency in your home.
A system boiler requires a cylinder and can supply hot water to multiple taps simultaneously which is ideal for homes with multiple bathrooms.
Regular boilers, like the Baxi 600 heat-only, require a hot water cylinder, cold water tanks and an external pump in order to provide the heating and hot water for a property.
The right Baxi model for you will depend on your water usage, the number of bathrooms in your property, and your existing heating system.
Extra features and smart technology
The Baxi 600 can be integrated with Baxi’s uSense smart room thermostat or it can be connected with other smart thermostat systems such as Nest or Hive.
Other features include EasyFill, which combats boiler pressure drops without the need to contact an engineer, and anti-frost protection.
Reduce gas and electricity consumption
The UK government has committed to achieving a net zero emissions rating within the next decade. Baxi takes its corporate social responsibility seriously and has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2030.
A Baxi boiler can help your home reduce carbon emissions and save money on your energy bills. However, it is worth noting that the energy efficiency rating for the Baxi 600 range, while an A rating, can be beaten by other manufacturers.
