Amptec

Electric flow boiler

Amptec
Amptec electric flow boiler provides efficient electric wet
central heating with the high levels of comfort and control
usually only found in gas-powered systems. This makes it
ideal for any of the over 2 million homes in Britain with
no mains gas supply.

Amptec electric flow boiler has been designed to be compatible

with standard radiators, programmers, circulating pumps, room
thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves. It is suitable for
sealed or open-vented systems, and works with conventional
radiators or underfloor heating systems. To be sure there’s a model
to suit every conceivable need, Amptec electric flow boilers are
available in 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12kW ratings.

And for complete peace-of-mind, Amptec electric flow boiler

comes with a comprehensive two year parts and labour guarantee
that’s backed up with on-site service support.
