Additional optional maintenance software can be also installed; allowing homeowners and installers to be notified in the event of a fault, ensuring limited time is wasted in getting your boiler back up and running.
Should maintenance be required then homeowners will be pleased to know that all of the serviceable components are accessible from the front of the boiler meaning no requirement for side clearance.
