Potterton Ultra System Boiler

Potterton’s Ultra System is a lightweight, compact gas condensing boiler with five different output flow rates to suit all size homes – 12kW, 15kW, 18kW, 24kW or 28kW. Your Gas Safe engineer will make the decision of which size you need. A 12kW would be great for a flat, apartment or 2 bed home and the 28kW would be suited to a large 5 bed home.
