Baxi Luna

JIMBO_2

Can anybody enlighten me as to "advisibility" of installing this unit. 1,200 sq ft house, will use BB throughout. Has hot-air heat now, so it'll all be a new install. Please offer some advice.

JIMBO,

Baxi makes a good unit. However, there are other things to address before you go about switching from Hot Air to wet heat. Baseboard offers somewhat better comfort than hot air but, there are other options. Look at panel radiators as a better comfort choice. Radiant above that. As far as heat sources go,,, Baxi = good. Certainly not allways the wisest choice IMHO. We all have our own brands we sell. It depends. Good luck. Keep asking questions. The answer is out there. Who's going to come out and troubleshoot the Baxi on Christmas eve @ 9:00 PM?

Try it.

The baxi is a Italian 85.5% fully modulating boiler that has the option (add outdoor sensor) of outdoor reset as well as an included pump, expansion tank and air eliminator and comes with a concentric thru wall vent. Main thing is to set up the gas pressures for hi and lo fire as per installation manual. Two models, one is boiler and another wil make potable as well as heat. If you tru it, let us know how it works for you.

Hi Jimbo,try it you will like it!

Baxi have been in the North American market since 1998 and have a track record of around 10000 boilers in the field,one of the first real wall-hung boilers in North America that has been designed and built as a boiler, and is certfied as a boiler, with worldwide sales of about 1.5 million since its conception 30 years ago.
Baxi luna is availlable in two models, heating only and a combi which will make potable hot water. Both are sold as packaged units including the basic vent kit and a pipe connection kit.

Gary makes a good point regarding which form of heat emitters to use, all depends on your pocket book. Which ever you choose the Luna will work well with them. To ease your mind about Gary's other point, the troubleshooting. The Luna works the same as any other power-vented gas appliance; okay if you have never come across one before you will probably want to look at it for a few minutes before you dive in there, but it does have a self diagnostic funtion in the controler to help with the task and if the install manual is still there a good technician should be able to follow the guide in the back, and hey its hanging on the wall, no kneeling or lying on the cold floor.

We all have our preferences as to which appilance we like to use and the more we use them the more comfortable we get with it, but if you try the Luna we are sure you will like the energy savings you will see. It is good to gather as much in formation as possible before committing and if we can help with references from happy installers please contact us at our web site, we can probably find an unhappy installer for you if you need one.

We are still growing our network of dealers but we do insist that each dealer carries some spare parts rather than wait for parts to be shipped from us in Toronto.

Thanks JW for the kind words, sounds like you have already had the Baxi Luna experience?

Happy Heating, Mike
