The Best LPG Boilers of 2023
Below, we have put together a list of what we believe are some of the best boilers available on the market right now. s there are no boilers that are made exclusively for LPG, we have highlighted the ones that can be easily converted for use with LPG if that is your current setup in your property
1. Viessmann Vitodens Open Vent 100-W
Viessmann is a name you should know, if you don’t already, as they have an impressive reputation for designing and manufacturing some of the highest efficiency A-rated condensing boilers on the market. Take this Viessmann Vitodens, for instance, which is capable of energy efficiency of around 97%, which easily scores it an A rating.
Which also takes it over and above efficiency levels outlined in the Boiler Plus legislation. Besides, if you’re paying a good price for a high-efficiency boiler, it’s not just to conform to some legislation, but you do that so you can save money on energy bills over the long term, and also because you want a high-end, technologically advanced boiler in your home.
One of the biggest advantages that Viessmann have over other boiler manufacturers is the fact that they use patented Inox-Radial Stainless-Steel Heat Exchangers, which are not only more durable and resilient than the aluminium heat exchangers used in many competitor boilers, they are also extremely resilient to corrosion. This means they will last longer, and be just as efficient 10 years down the line. Viessmann has this component throughout their impressive boiler range.
Key Features:
- Patented Inox-Radial stainless steel heat exchanger
- Condensate and pressure release valve combined into one
- Built-in shock arresters (reduces/avoids water hammer)
- 10-year comprehensive extended warranty
- Wall-mounted
- Easy to use
- Compact, making it easier to site
- Lightweight
2. Worcester Bosch Greenstar i
Worcester Bosch is an incredibly popular and successful boiler manufacturer who have been in business for a long time now.
Their market share in the UK is a testament to that. However, we do feel they have rested on their laurels far too long now, and need to innovate to be relevant with modern technological progress. Especially against manufacturers like Viessmann. Having said that, the Greenstar i deserves its place in this list of the best LPG boilers.
It is capable of achieving as much as 92% energy efficiency and has an A rating. This boiler can manage flow rates of close to 12.3 litres a minute.
Key Features:
- Easy to use and easy to maintain
- Full graphic display
- Magnetic flap cover for easy access
- 5 Years Warranty
- Wall-mounted
- Rear piping
3. Ideal Vogue LPG Boiler
Undoubtedly, the Ideal Vogue is one of the strongest and best performing condensing boilers on the market.
It can achieve a flow rate of around 16.4 litres a minute and comes with a standard warranty that covers you for 10 years. Ideal has taken on a “cheap boiler” reputation, and are not always spoken about with the bigger names, but this is definitely a good boiler that you should not pass on so easily.
This boiler is capable of achieving energy efficiency of up to 89.10%, and therefore, is lower in terms of its energy efficiency than others, but still has an A Rating.
Key Features:
- Crystal clear LCD monitor display for easy use
- Error and fault logging
- Wall-mounted
- Easy to use
- Easy to maintain
- Lightweight
4. Vaillant EcoTec Plus
Vaillant is a boiler manufacturer who has been making a good name for themselves for a long time now and is definitely one of the biggest names in the UK boiler industry. The Vaillant EcoTec is a stunning combination of versatility and good value. It has very easy to use controls and is considerably smaller than a lot of other models on the market for similar prices.
The Vaillant EcoTec Plus boiler is capable of achieving 89.2% energy efficiency. Although this is lower than some, it is still awarded an A rating.
Key Features:
- Easy to use and maintain
- Wall-mounted
- Smaller size
- Output modulation built-in (this helps to make sure you don’t use more energy than you actually need)
5. Potterton Promax SL
Along with Ideal, Baxi, Vokera, Ferroli etc. Potterton is known as one of the “cheap boiler” manufacturers in the UK. However, Potterton can be good at designing and constructing effective and efficient LPG boilers.
The Potterton Promax SL is one of the most popular standard boilers available at the moment. And with good reason. It is actually capable of achieving as much as 91.1% energy efficiency and therefore has an A rating.
You need to be aware though that some of the older, bigger models of the Potterton Promax are still available and they are only B rated and capable of 86.4% energy efficiency. So you need to check that what you are being sold is a newer and updated model.
Key Features:
- Wall-mounted
- Moderate to high efficiency
- Lightweight
- Easy to use
