The Alpha E-Tec range is one of our most popular combi boiler types due to not only its quality as we will highlight throughout this informative guide, but also its fantastic price value.
Here are some of the features of the Alpha E-Tec range:
Stainless steel heat exchanger
High efficiency pump and hydroblock assembly
Easy-access dry-change NTCs
Combined condensate and pressure relief valve connection
Zinc plated expansion vessel to prevent corrosion

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!
Hot Water Output | Suitable For | Flow Rate | |
---|---|---|---|
28kW | The Alpha E-Tec 28kW is perfect for smaller families living in a flat or bungalow with one to two bedroom(s), one bathroom and up to ten radiators. | 12.1L/min |
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.
With an 89% ErP A rating, this boiler is on the higher end of the energy efficiency scale, ensuring a potential owner need not fear frivolous finance wastage.
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 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.
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.
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.
