Are you interested in Baxi’s new 600 range of combi boilers, and want to know more?
If you’re looking for an affordable combi boiler that’s powerful, compact and perfect for the modern household, this range could be a great choice.
Since they’ve been released, they’ve been getting plenty of interest! Partly due to the fact that they come with the option to use Baxi’s new uSense smart controls, which can be operated using a smartphone or tablet – from anywhere in the world! (As long as you have an internet connection, that is)
Baxi have really been on top of their game lately. As an experienced engineer, let me tell you more about the new Baxi 600 range of combi boilers, below. Along with which might be best suited to your home!
Output and flow rate
If you know the required output and flow rate for your home already (don’t worry if you don’t) then this next part will tell you all the technical info you’ll need to make a decision.
Baxi 624 combi boiler: 10.2 litres of hot water per minute to your taps, with an output of 25kW to the hot water, and 21kW to the central heating.
Baxi 630 combi boiler: 12.2 litres of hot water per minute to your taps, with an output of 30kW to the hot water, and 21kW to the central heating.
TIP: In order to be confident you’re making the right choice for your home, I always recommend getting your chosen Gas Safe registered heating engineer to measure your home’s heat loss – it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Size and special features
With a width of 390mm, a height of 700mm and a depth of 285mm, the Baxi 600 combi is fairly compact, and will easily fit into a 290mm deep-fill cupboard. Great if you need to make the most of the space in your home!
It’s also endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust, giving you the peace of mind that this boiler is super energy efficient.
Another great option with the 600 combi is that it can be used with Baxi’s new uSense smart controls. This means you have more power over your central heating, and can access your controls any time via a smartphone or tablet. It’s a very handy feature!
This boiler can be used with Baxi’s twin flue system, which means your boiler can be located in positions other brands can’t – the long flue can easily be fitted through a ceiling or void.
Guarantee
The standard guarantee for the Baxi 600 is 7 years. This is a good, no-quibble guarantee, and unlike other brands, you don’t need to fit Baxi’s filter and controls.
Your guarantee will remain valid as long as your boiler is serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Listen up! Here’s the part which should give you more of a rough idea of which Baxi 600 combi boiler might be best suited for your home. (However, always get your chosen engineer to measure your home’s heat loss, too!)
Baxi 624 combi boiler: Ideal for a small apartment or home with 2 – 6 radiators, with predominant use of a shower (might be slow to fill a bath)
Baxi 630 combi boiler: Perfect for a small apartment or home with 2 – 6 radiators, with a bath or high-pressure shower (can easily cope with either)
TIP: Remember, this is just a rough guide, designed to give you a better idea of whether the Baxi 600 might be a good fit. Always get 2 – 3 fixed price quotes from experienced engineers who can conduct a home visit.
