The E-Tec has a high efficiency Grundfos pump which helps to deliver a powerful stream of heated water throughout the home. The E-Tec output of 12.4 (28kW) litres of hot water per minute packs a punch: simply put, you won't have to shiver your way through showers any time soon! 

Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

Another impressive E-Tec feature is a brand new stainless steel heat exchanger and zinc plated expansion vessels in order to prevent corrosion and ensure longevity whilst maintaining robustness.

The brainy bunch over at Alpha have created a unique ‘Climatic’ smart tech modulating remote, designed specifically to sync and control the E-Tec range with ease. With a BUS transfer system and integrated thermostat the climatic smart remote and E-Tec boiler are a dream team for universal heating control or adjustment.

Combi Boilers

Benefits Of Combi Boilers

Combi boilers are a popular choice for a number of reasons. Unlike conventional boilers, combi (combination) boilers link a home’s central heating system and water heating; no separate hot water tank is needed which is cleaner as it avoids potential rust or debris build up. This allows a compact boiler which could fit into a standard kitchen cupboard or be wall mounted, to thoroughly heat a home without stealing lots of space. Combi systems are also easier to service or for boiler replacement due to their popularity, meaning greater availability.

What Is The Price Of The Alpha E-Tec?

Here at iHeat, Alpha E-Tec 28kW prices for both the E-Tec unit and to have the boiler installed by one of our Gas Safe registered boiler engineers start from £1,100. The average boiler and installation services cost in England is around £2000, therefore the E-Tec combined with iHeat’s free 10 year warranty guarantees not to bombard your bank account.

Should I Buy An Alpha E-Tec Boiler?

The E-Tec would definitely be a good option for a smaller to medium sized homes heating system due to its modern functionalities as a gas condensing combination boiler and its strength in relation to its size. However UK residents with larger properties may want to opt for a larger boiler with a higher kW outage, perhaps from the Alpha E-Tec Plus range to keep the home warm.
