Quality Components

Can also be combined with Baxi’s multifit IFOS (in flue outdoor system) for added weather compensation functionality.

Powerful Flow Rate

For each of its kW sizes the platinum combi has a strong water flow rate, especially in its largest 40kW variant with 16.4 litres of water per minute produced. 

A good flow rate means hot water is readily available faster, reducing frustrating waiting times while also reducing wasted expensive energy.

EasyFill

Baxi have introduced the EasyFill link into their premium ‘Platinum’ range, this component makes it easy for a boiler owner to top up the central heating system pressure without the need to call for an engineer.

Benefits Of Combi Boilers

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 while providing instant hot water. 

This allows a compact boiler which could fit into a larger 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. 

Baxi Platinum Combi Price

The Platinum combi is one of Baxi’s elite home heaters, and without installation, and output dependant can cost from between £883-£1147, a fair price for an excellent combi boiler.
