Our thoughts on the Baxi Platinum Combi Boiler
The Baxi Platinum Combi Boiler is a well-designed and affordable boiler that is perfect for homes with up to 2 bathrooms. It has been engineered with low volume and optimised and efficient performance in mind.
A global brand
Baxi has won awards for its boiler design innovation and customer service and has developed a reputation for reliability and great value. Owned by an international company based in The Netherlands, however, the Baxi Platinum Combi Boiler is manufactured in the UK.
Choose the right model for your needs
The Baxi Platinum Combi is available in the following sizes: 24, 33, 40 kW. A combi boiler heats water directly from the mains for heating and hot water. This instant heating technology will reduce energy waste and help to minimise water inefficiency in your home. The right size boiler for your home will depend on your water usage. If you have more than one bathroom, you will likely need a larger kW power. Our installers will be happy to advise you on which is most appropriate for your needs.
Uses the latest technology
The Baxi Platinum Combi is compatible with Baxi’s uSense smart controls. However, it can also be integrated with other energy systems such as Tado or Hive. It can also be combined with a time and temperature control and Baxi’s Multifit IFOS System (In flue Outdoor Sensor) to add weather compensation functionality and make the boiler Boiler Plus compliant. There is a range of plugin timers and flue lengths so your gas engineer can install an all-round system that works for you.
Reduce your home’s gas and electricity consumption
The UK government has recently confirmed their intention to seek a net-zero emissions rating within the next ten years. The energy market remains volatile, so installing an economical boiler should be a priority for homeowners when replacing a boiler.
A Baxi boiler can help you reduce your household’s carbon emissions and save money on your energy bills. The operating capacity has been endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust and is compliant with Boiler Plus.
