Alpha E-Tec
The Alpha E-Tec is one of our best selling gas condensing combination boilers thanks to its great affordability without compromising on quality. The E-Tec is also Alpha's smallest model yet, making it ideal for small and medium sized homes and fitting in standard kitchen cupboards.
The E-Tec is ideal for small and medium sized homes. The entire E-Tec range features brand new stainless steel heat exchangers and zinc plated expansion vessels, making them highly robust, more corrosion resistant and much longer lasting. Taking these extra steps to maximise the longevity of your boiler life is what makes this range stand out against its competitors, who mostly use aluminium heat exchangers.
The E-Tec also has a high-efficiency pump which helps to deliver impressive hot water flow ratings between 12.4 (28kW) and 14.1 (33kW) litres of hot water per minute and the single electrode drive charge is very easy to access, meaning your Alpha combi boiler will be easy to control and manage after installation.

Which Should You Buy?
If you're looking for a high quality boiler for an affordable price then a model from the E-Tec range is certainly a great place to look. Unsure of which you should opt for between the two? To put it simply, the E-Tec Plus is very similar to the E-Tec bar a few additional features such as the control panel and bottom cover.
Realistically speaking, it's unlikely you'd notice the difference enough to spend an extra few hundred pounds, so we would recommend the standard Alpha E-Tec model, unless of course you require the higher power output (38kW) for your home.
