Baxi Boiler Types
Within the Baxi boiler models range, there is a range of different types of boilers, each with their own unique features and advantages. We have the skills and expertise to help you choose the most suitable boiler for your household. Taking your personal requirements into consideration, we’ll aim to ensure that your new Baxi boiler meets your needs both efficiently and cost-effectively. Baxi boiler types include:
Combi boilers
Baxi combi boilers are designed to deliver both heating and hot-water from one appliance, without the need for water storage tanks or cylinders. They tend to be compact in size which could be a great advantage if you don’t have a large amount of free space in your home. Baxi combi boilers are typically an ideal choice for most small and medium-sized households with one bathroom and a low to average demand for hot water.
System boilers
Baxi system boilers are designed to provide homes with efficient heating and hot water; using an additional cylinder for hot-water storage. There’s no need for an additional cold-water tank with a Baxi system boiler as their major components are already built-in. A Baxi system boiler could be a great choice for a home that has multiple bathrooms and a high demand for hot-water.
Regular/conventional boilers
The regular boilers manufactured by Baxi are designed to provide effective heating and hot water through the use of an additional hot-water cylinder and also a cold-water tank. If your home already has a traditional central heating system, one of Baxi’s regular boilers could be a suitable option for you as this could enable a quick and easy installation. Regular boilers are typically ideal for medium and large sized homes that have more than one bathroom and a higher than average demand for hot-water.

The varied range of boilers available from the Baxi brand could make it difficult to decide which option is best for you. We’re here and happy to advise you throughout your new installation journey; from helping you make a choice to conducting a thorough and professional installation.
When choosing your new Baxi boiler, we recommend that you first consider factors such as your budget, the space available in your home as well as your hot water and heating usage. You should also consider the kW output that your home is likely to require. This refers to a boiler’s ability to cope with your household’s hot water and heating demands and is generally reliant upon the number of bathrooms and radiators within your property.

Baxi warranty
A boiler warranty could provide you with added peace of mind that should a fault occur with a component within the boiler, the manufacturer could be liable to replace or repair the part without cost to you†. Baxi boilers typically come with a manufacturer-backed warranty of up to 7 years (depending on the boiler model) and could provide you with cover for parts that are faulty from the date of manufacture or parts integral to the boiler; this could include the controls. Terms and conditions apply with all warranties and may be subject to change at any time, so ensure that you check through them thoroughly or contact us if you’d like to learn more about Baxi boilers warranties†.
Baxi service and repairs
If your boiler is within its warranty period, you will most likely be required to organise an annual service†. During this your Gas Safe engineer will conduct checks to ensure that your boiler is functioning in a safe and efficient manner without any existing or potential faults. Maintaining your boiler could also potentially help extend its working life, so arranging a service could prove to be significantly beneficial to you in the future!
Whilst your boiler is in warranty, you can contact Baxi directly in the event of a boiler breakdown or fault. Alternatively, you can contact us and we could help to get your boiler back up and running as quickly as possible.
