Ferroli History

Ferroli, an Italian heating specialist founded in 1955 by Dante Ferroli in Verona, has grown into a global leader, operating in over 100 countries with a strong UK presence since 1988. Known for affordable, high-efficiency boilers, Ferroli UK, based in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, produces innovative heating solutions at its factories in Italy, Spain, and China. In 2025, Ferroli’s combi boilers, particularly the Bluehelix Tech RRT, Bluehelix HiTech RRT, and iBoiler ranges, are popular for their compact design and budget-friendly pricing, catering to UK homeowners seeking cost-effective heating. Ferroli combi boilers deliver instant hot water and central heating without storage tanks, ideal for small to medium-sized homes. Models like the Bluehelix Tech RRT (24kW–34kW) offer A-rated efficiency of ~94%, with flow rates of ~10–14 liters per minute, suitable for 1–2 bathrooms. Featuring patented stainless steel Thermobalance heat exchangers, they ensure durability and low NOx emissions (Class 6). Compact (some as small as 700mm x 420mm x 250mm) and wall-mounted, they fit kitchen cupboards, with user-friendly displays and Quiet Mark approval. Smart features include gas-adaptive combustion and optional wireless controls, with 20% hydrogen-readiness. Installer-friendly with three-piece casings and no LPG conversion kits needed, they offer 7–10 year warranties when fitted with magnetic filters. Priced from £475–£880 (installation £1,100–£1,800), they’re among the UK’s cheapest, but Trustpilot reviews (4.1/5 from 316) and Which? (35% score) highlight reliability issues, like corroding plates, and after-sales delays. Best for smaller homes, larger properties may need Ferroli’s system boilers. Despite past criticism, awards like Best Boiler (2016–2017) and eco-focus make Ferroli a value-driven, eco-conscious choice.
