How many litres per minute of hot water be achieved? The output of your boiler will dictate how much hot water can be heated per minute (this information can be found in your boiler quotation pack). The most popular output is 30kW, this boiler can achieve a flow rate of 12.4 litres per minute at 35ºC temperature rise. An example of this is if the incoming cold water temperature is 10ºC the boiler will be able to increase this by 35ºC at a flow rate of 12.4 litres per minute. Meaning the hot water temperature will be 45ºC. To heat the water to hotter temperatures just reduce the flow rate, this allows the boiler more time to heat the water to hotter temperatures. This may mean reducing the flow rate of your hot tap during a cold winter when incoming temperatures are lower. It is also worth noting that stated litres per minute is reliant on the incoming mains water pressure and flow rate. As a rule of thumb, we suggest opening your hot tap fully for a few seconds, then reducing the flow to about half and wait until hot water reaches the tap, then you can open the tap to your desired flow rate. How water temperatures can be set on your boiler using the control knob labelled with the tap symbol.
Awesome company with great values and standards.
I cannot praise Matt and Jon highly enough. Absolutely professional, courteous and really nice blokes. They worked exceptionally hard trying to find the issue with my original boiler, however it was way past its best. So a new boiler went in and a change from open vent to closed meant I could smarten up the bathroom and space in the eaves. The boiler installation went well and they worked tirelessly.

Would highly recommend Boilers Direct.
We were in a pretty desperate situation with no working boiler in the middle of winter. Jon came round promptly and quoted for a new boiler. The installation work was done the next day by Jon and Matthew who we found to be very friendly and efficient.
