Are you looking for a storage combi that can provide unlimited hot water to your Edinburgh home? At an attractive, budget price, the Glow-worm Energy 35 Store combi may already be on your radar, and comes with some fantastic features.
As an engineer, I’m personally very impressed with the budget brand, which is actually manufactured by the Vaillant group – and they are particularly popular with my customers who are looking for great value for money without sacrificing quality.
So, let’s find out more about the Energy 35 Store combi, shall we?
Introduction
A fully integrated, wall-hung boiler, the Energy 35 Store does everything you’d expect from a system AND combi boiler in one nice, well-engineered package. Not only can you expect instant, unlimited hot water (the main advantage) but it also comes with two 21-litre insulated tanks, so no need for a cylinder!
And because everything is housed in the unit, it’s fairly simple to install – something that’s always popular with us engineers! There’s also a wide choice of controls available to go with it.
But let’s find out what the Energy 35 Store can actually bring to your home in terms of heating and hot water…
Output and flow rates
With a central heating output of 30kw, the 35 Store is more than a match for many large households with around 10- 16 radiators. However, it’s the hot water output of 35.7kw that really packs a punch, delivering a whopping 19.7 litre of hot water per minute to your taps!
There’s not really much this baby can’t handle, and is perfect if you have a large family with often more than one person wanting to use the shower or bath at the same time.
However, before installing the Energy 35 Store, always get your engineer to check your incoming water pressure, just to ensure you’re definitely going to get the better of that fantastic flow rate.
Size and special features
Measuring in at 890mm x 470mm x 561mm, this is a wall-mounted boiler that will sadly not fit in a standard kitchen cubpoard – but it’s worth it for those two 21-litre tanks that can reheat your water in less than five minutes flat.
This ERP rated A boiler is really an all-in-one solution; a huge selling point to many of my customers, as there’s no need for fiddling around with tanks. It can also be flued vertically or horizontally, so you’ll have more options of where to locate your boiler.
Guarantee
Great news! The Glow-worm Energy 35 Store combi comes with a free5-year guarantee covering both parts and labour, with the option to further extend it to 7, 10 and 15 years. And because Glow-worm is part of the Vaillant group, the company also has dedicated engineers to attend call-outs.
