Will the Vokera Easi Heat be good for my home?

What size home is Vokera Easi Heat 29 suitable for?

The high 29kw output of this boiler means that it should suit most homes in the 3-4 bedroom range. 

This assumes that your family doesn’t have an excessive demand for output but it should be ok to fill two bathrooms and up to 16 radiators.

If you have more bathrooms that would be used simultaneously,  then you might need to purchase a system boiler with a cylinder for the extra hot water. Check out our guide on system boiler prices to gain a better understanding of the costs associated with this type of heating system.

Remember that each home is different and the number of radiators, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc will determine the size of the boiler you require. 

The flow rate at 11.9 L is also lower than other models with a similar output. There are other models available with lower outputs and higher water flow rates that could indeed be more suitable for you.

How efficient is the Vokera Easi Heat 29kW?

The Vokera Easiheat is an A-rated combi boiler. The water heating efficiency comes in at 84% and is A-rated with a seasonal efficiency of up to 93%, also A-rated. 

 This is competitive with other boiler systems and would be in the top range of efficiency in comparison. 

Even if your boiler is only 5 years old, the current and new systems will save you money on your annual fuel bill.

How long is the manufacturer’s warranty?

We don’t like boilers with low warranties here at Green Central as it doesn’t inspire much confidence in the system either from the manufacturer or the consumer.

The warranty on the Vokera Easi-Heat 29kW is what we would call the main negative if you’re considering this boiler.

It’s just 2-years, and that just isn’t good enough when other boilers offer standard warranties of 5-10 years. 

You do have the choice to extend the warranty but we don’t appreciate jumping through hoops to activate a warranty that should come as standard.

Are there any better alternatives?

Yes, check out our review of the Vokera Vision 30c boiler. Additionally, there are also more manufacturers with a better pedigree.

As usual, we like to recommend our alternative systems to you based on our experience. In the last few years, we have been incredibly impressed with the Viessmann boiler systems.

These boilers offer fantastic efficiency, price, warranty, easy maintenance and more. We would recommend the Viessmann Vitodens 100-W as it is 30KW, has higher efficiency, better internal components, a better LCD panel, and more. 

Vokera EasiHeat boiler Conclusion:

We think that the Vokera Easi-Heat range is overall a well-engineered system however the lack of a decent warranty and lower water flow rate means it doesn’t compare to other similar systems.

We would therefore rate this system at a 5/10.  Take a look at Systems like Baxi, Glow-Worm, Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal all of whom offer systems at a similar price with better performance.

If you are in the market for a new boiler then simply request a boiler quote from Green Central.

We offer flexible financing and you can choose to book an install date that is convenient for you.  If you are looking for a wider range of Vokera boiler prices then we are sure to be able to help.
