The installer sets the boiler output to match the heat loss calculation, rather than selecting a fixed-output model that may be over- or under-sized. For the DHW circuit, EHS recommend not reducing below 12kW if the property has a shower, to ensure adequate temperature rise at the required flow rate. This range-rated approach means a single boiler suits a wide variety of flat and small home types.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background:#f0faf9;border:1px solid #c8e6e3;border-radius:6px;padding:13px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-weight:700;color:#008377CF;margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e✔ No Flue — No Gas — No Annual Certificate\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eThere are \u003cstrong\u003eno combustion gases, no flue penetration, and no requirement for a Gas Safe annual safety certificate\u003c\/strong\u003e. The boiler can be installed in any interior room — kitchen, hallway, cupboard — without the constraint of a flue route to an external wall. For leasehold flats where gas boiler flue positions are restricted, and for properties in listed buildings or conservation areas, this removes a frequently insurmountable installation barrier. There is no risk of carbon monoxide emission.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background:#f0faf9;border:1px solid #c8e6e3;border-radius:6px;padding:13px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-weight:700;color:#008377CF;margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e✔ Continuous Hot Water — 6.5–7 L\/min\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eAt full 14kW output, the boiler raises incoming cold water temperature by 30°C at \u003cstrong\u003e6.5 litres per minute\u003c\/strong\u003e — sufficient for a standard shower (39°C is a typical shower temperature). The included Caleffi 5 L\/min flow restrictor limits the mains flow to ensure the heat exchanger delivers adequate temperature regardless of incoming mains pressure variation. EHS specify this as a shower-capable boiler for single-bathroom properties; for baths or multi-bathroom homes, a system boiler with a cylinder is recommended.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background:#f0faf9;border:1px solid #c8e6e3;border-radius:6px;padding:13px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-weight:700;color:#008377CF;margin-bottom:5px;\"\u003e✔ COOLFIT Overheat Protection\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOOLFIT\u003c\/strong\u003e is EHS's active overheat protection system. Rather than relying solely on a passive thermal cut-out, COOLFIT monitors operating temperatures and manages the boiler's power delivery to prevent overheating events before they trigger a safety shutdown.

entirely on the heat loss of the property — the size, insulation standard, and number of radiators. EHS recommend completing a heat loss calculation (to BS EN 12831) before ordering. As a rough guide, a well-insulated one or two-bedroom flat up to approximately 70m² is typically suitable for a 14kW electric combi. Because the Flex is range-rated, the installer can set the heating output lower than 14kW if the heat loss calculation indicates this — the boiler will then modulate between 2kW and the set maximum, which can improve efficiency on mild days. EHS offer assistance with heat loss calculations — contact info@ehs-heating.com.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eWhy is a 5 or 6 L\/min flow restrictor needed for the shower?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe heat exchanger in a 14kW electric combi can only add a fixed amount of heat per litre of water that passes through it. At 14kW and 6.5 litres per minute, the temperature rise is approximately 30°C — so if cold water enters at 10°C, hot water leaves at 40°C, which is comfortable for a shower. If mains pressure is high and the flow rate increases to 8 or 9 L\/min without restriction, the same 14kW heats each litre by less — water might only reach 30°C, which is not comfortable for bathing. The Caleffi 5 L\/min flow restrictor in the installer kit caps the flow at a rate the boiler can always satisfy regardless of mains pressure, ensuring consistently hot water every time the shower is run.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#f0faf9;\"\u003eWhy is the automatic bypass valve mandatory?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eWhen thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) close down as rooms reach temperature, the heating circuit becomes increasingly restricted. Without a bypass, the circulation pump forces water against a closed head — pressure rises sharply and flow drops. The EHS Flex boiler has a paddle flow switch that detects inadequate flow and triggers an F6 error code or shuts the boiler down to protect the heat exchanger. The \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic bypass valve\u003c\/strong\u003e prevents this by opening progressively as pressure rises, maintaining minimum flow through the boiler circuit regardless of how many TRVs are closed. This is why EHS specify it as mandatory, not optional. The bypass valve is included in the installer kit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EHS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63227551449437,"sku":"ALC1-1PCO-14","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/EHSPrimusElectricSystemBoiler.webp?v=1767108933","url":"https:\/\/qualityheating.co.uk\/products\/ehs-combi-boiler-primus-14000c-flex-with-installer-kit","provider":"AIZO Quality Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
