Full details
The Heatrae Sadia Amptec U401 is a 4kW electric boiler designed for efficient underfloor heating systems up to 40m², offering a gas-free heating solution. It provides controllable warmth and hot water using only the mains electricity supply, making it ideal for properties without gas access, such as rural homes or new developments. A key benefit is its space-saving, underfloor placement capability. However, its 4kW output may be insufficient for very large properties or multiple high-demand heating zones without careful system design.
