Are you in the market for a reliable quality combi boiler for your small Edinburgh flat?

If so, then the Vaillant EcoTEC Pro 24 is probably already on your radar. But to make it even easier for you, I’ve reviewed it in-full below.

So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the EcoTEC Pro 24.

Introduction

Vaillant’s EcoTEC pro range of combi boilers are great for doing the job if you’ve got a small property and very basic hot water needs – plus, because it’s Vaillant, they’re also incredibly reliable, quality boilers.

With so many budget boilers on the market for small flats or apartments, the EcoTEC Pro 24 really shakes things up. Yes it’s few hundred pounds more expensive, but it also has the Which ‘Best Buy’ stamp of approval, is one of the quietest boilers on the market, and is superb quality – so it’ll actually work out cheaper in the long run.

Output and flow rate

The heating output is 24kw, which means it can comfortably heat a small flat. The hot water output is also 24kw, giving you a flow rate of 9.4 litres per minute.

This boiler is ideal if you mainly take showers rather than baths. Although the Pro 24 can run a bath, it will be slower to fill, and if you’re a fan of a good soak, you may be better going with the larger 28kw model.

Size and special features

This wall-hung boiler is 335mm deep, so it won’t fit in your kitchen cupboard or Edinburgh press. However, it will look at home on your kitchen wall or in a storage cupboard.

The controls on the EcoTEC pro 24 are displayed on the front, so it looks a little busier than the EcoTEC plus range. However, it still has the patented ‘Aquacomfort’ system, which means you have access to instant hot water at a constant, steady temperature.

Guarantee

The guarantee on this particular boiler is 7 years, which is still fairly good for a low output combi boiler. Plus, there’s no hidden small print or unexpected credit card charges to catch you out, unlike other similar boiler companies.

Vaillant also has a brilliant back-up service, with its own dedicated engineers for call-outs if you ever do need it – another reason I recommend them to my customers.

The Pro 24 can run the occasional bath – it just takes slower to fill – so if you’re a fan of a good soak, it may be worth your while investing in the next model up (the 28k).

This is a wall-hung boiler, and should look at home on your kitchen wall or storage cupboard. And with a 7-year guarantee that comes with Vaillant’s great back-up service, you’re covered for all eventualities!
