E.C.A Arceus EK 12, MT Electric Combi Boiler – 12kW

E.C.A Arceus EK 12, MT Electric Combi Boiler – 12kW is a compact, wall‑mounted electric combi boiler designed to provide central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water without the need for gas. The MT (Monothermic Type) design incorporates separate heating circuits within a stainless steel tank‑type heat exchanger, delivering quiet (around 38 dB), zero‑emission operation for modern homes and apartments.

Key Features

• 12kW electric combi boiler – provides central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water in one compact appliance.
• MT monothermic design – dual water heating circuits inside a stainless steel tank heat exchanger for space heating and DHW.
• 100% efficient at point of use – all electrical energy is converted into heat within the system, with no flue losses.
• Range‑rateable output – heating side can be range‑rated (e.g. from 12kW down to 6kW) to improve ErP rating and better match property demand.
• Staged electric elements – multiple resistors are switched in stages for simple, reliable modulation and load management.
• Very quiet operation – approximately 38 dB sound level, suitable for installation in utility rooms, cupboards or kitchens.
• WRAS‑approved – compliant for use on UK potable water systems.
• OpenTherm compatible – supports OpenTherm smart room thermostats, improving control and reducing energy use.
• Built‑in smart modulator – optimises element staging and temperature control for stable comfort and efficiency.
• Automatic filling loop & bypass – integrated components simplify installation and help protect the system and boiler.
• Frost protection & ECO modes – frost protection for the boiler and ECO/COMFORT modes on the domestic hot water circuit.

Performance & Application

• Heating output: 12kW nominal, suitable for well‑insulated small to medium properties (typical heated area up to ~90–100 m², load‑dependent).
• DHW performance: maximum domestic hot water flow rate around 7.0–7.4 litres per minute at 35°C temperature rise.
• ErP ratings: ErP D for space heating; ErP C for domestic hot water efficiency.
• Ideal for all‑electric homes – properties without a gas supply, flats, or projects pairing an electric boiler with renewables and smart tariffs.
