Available outputs

CH means central heating; DHW means domestic hot water. Nominal model labels are shown separately from verified ratings. Gas CH maximum/minimum values use the non-condensing basis; a second maximum is shown only where a verified condensing rating is available. The source basis below controls the comparison. No missing value is calculated from another variant.

  • Non-condensing CH output per manufacturer technical table; nominal model label shown separately

The product labels 15/18/24 kW differ from the technical table’s 16/19/25 kW heat outputs. Both are shown rather than rounding the rated output to the model name.

Key features and benefits

The manufacturer documents a compact cupboard format, front and side access and no pump-overrun requirement. The heating pump and hot-water storage are separately assessed.

Who could this boiler suit?

Read the nominal 15, 18 and 24 labels separately from the technical table’s 16, 19 and 25 kW outputs. Confirm the exact appliance rating before design.

A heat-only boiler may suit an assessed replacement retaining separate pump and hot-water storage arrangements. Check the external pump, cylinder, expansion arrangement, pipework and controls rather than assuming they can all remain unchanged.

Warranty

Up to 5 years, subject to Baxi terms, product eligibility, registration, commissioning and annual servicing. The eligible installation package is confirmed in your written quotation.

Manufacturer warranty, SwiftHeat installation cover and qualifying Care+ services are separate. Keep the required registration, commissioning and service records. Your quotation confirms the exact terms before purchase.

Installation with SwiftHeat UK

Assess gas supply, flue route, condensate disposal, heating water quality, controls and future service access. The casing dimensions alone cannot approve a cupboard installation.

A same-arrangement replacement, relocation and conversion involve different work. SwiftHeat confirms the appliance and complete installation scope after survey. Assess First. Recommend Second.

Frequently asked questions

What do the MainEco Compact Heat output numbers mean?

The guide separates nominal model labels from verified heating output. Non-condensing and condensing ratings use different operating conditions. A heat-loss calculation and installation assessment are still required.

What warranty applies to MainEco Compact Heat?

Up to 5 years, subject to Baxi terms, product eligibility, registration, commissioning and annual servicing. The eligible installation package is confirmed in your written quotation.

Can MainEco Compact Heat be specified for LPG?

No LPG configuration is included in this verified guide. Do not assume compatibility from another Baxi family. SwiftHeat must confirm the exact appliance and manufacturer instructions before proposing an LPG installation.

Verified manufacturer information

Installation and pricing

The installed price for your selected boiler is confirmed after assessment. The quotation covers the appliance, controls, flue, system preparation and any required pipework. A conversion or relocation can have a different scope from a straightforward replacement.

New boiler installations from £1,790 inc. VAT apply to a qualifying standard, straightforward replacement: one bathroom, fewer than 10 radiators and a standard horizontal flue, subject to survey. Specification and warranty selection affect the final cost. This is a general starting offer and is not a price for every model in this catalogue.

Finance terms and charges

Qualifying Care+ installations

Two free annual services and a Hive Mini are available on qualifying installations only. Every model is considered under the qualification rules; inclusion in this catalogue does not confirm eligibility. Ask us to confirm the offer in your quotation.

Ongoing support

Plan the maintenance your appliance requires and keep its service records. If you are considering replacement because of a fault, diagnosis can help establish whether repair is a suitable option first.

Installation pricing

Price confirmed following assessment for this configuration. The general New boiler installations from £1,790 inc. VAT offer does not apply to every model or property.

From or indicative prices remain provisional. SwiftHeat issues a written fixed quotation for the agreed scope after the appropriate property and installation assessment, technical checks and warranty-package verification. Remote information gathering may be suitable initially; a home survey is required where the necessary checks cannot be completed remotely.

Your home comes first

We assess heat loss, heating and hot-water requirements, water supply, controls and installation access before recommending an appliance. Bedroom count or a catalogue model number alone cannot establish the right boiler.
