Baxi

800 Combi 2 30kW

House Verdict
7.6/10
★★★★

Baxi's mid-market combi is the boiler your local gas engineer is most likely to have on the van when a Tuesday breakdown becomes a Wednesday install. Sensibly priced, supported by one of the deepest British installer bases in the market, and quietly improved generation on generation.
