The award winning Baxi Ecogen Micro-CHP dual energy system not only provides highly efficient heating and hot water, it also generates low cost, low carbon electricity in the process.

It is the first micro-CHP product to achieve Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certification, meaning it is also eligible for the Government's Feed-in Tariff, providing financial assistance to lower your fuel bills even further.

The Baxi Ecogen is the first widely available wall hung domestic Micro-CHP boiler in the UK, the actual thinking behind it is very much tried and tested.

Combined heat and power technologies have long been used to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions in commercial buildings, from hospitals to hotels. Other European countries are already benefiting from the large scale use of CHP technology in the home. In Denmark for instance, CHP accounts, incredibly, for 55% of all electricity generation.

Central heating and hot water are produced by the same technology that has been proven on Baxi's award winning high efficiency boilers. Meanwhile, electricity is generated by a Stirling external combustion engine, invented by Robert Stirling in the nineteenth Century.

Generating electricity for the home

The Baxi Ecogen Micro-CHP boiler produces up to 1kWh of electricity, that can be used throughout a home. But just how powerful is 1kW?

• 10 20W light bulbs (0.2kW)

• TV (0.1kW)

• Computer (0.1kW)

• Washing machine (0.6kW)

• All of these combined = 1kW

• Maximum cost savings can be achieved by using the electricity from the Baxi Ecogen as you generate it. For example, washing or ironing in the evening when your heating is on.

• Baxi Ecogen can be wall-hung in the kitchen, utility or garage. In older homes it is also one of the most effective ways of making your house more energy efficient.
