The Baxi Amptec S8 is an 8 kW electric system boiler for wet central heating — now sold under the Baxi brand, previously Heatrae Sadia. It needs no gas supply and no flue, runs both radiators and underfloor heating, and carries its circulation pump, expansion vessel and HMI display inside one compact, UK-built unit that fits a 290 mm deep cupboard.
Applications & suitability
Sealed wet central heating in homes without a gas supply. Runs radiators or underfloor circuits from 30–80 °C, and with pump, expansion vessel and controls built in it drops into a 290 mm deep cupboard with no flue to route.
A new electric heating installation or a like-for-like electric boiler refurbishment — flats, off-grid properties, social housing and landlord upgrades. Baxi state it can also be used in conjunction with a solar PV battery.
Certified OpenTherm, so it pairs with OpenTherm controls including the Baxi uSense 2 for best efficiency. As a system boiler it works with a separate hot water cylinder, and it joins Baxi’s existing Amptec and Electromax electric range.
Not a combi — stored hot water needs a separate cylinder. For homes with a higher heat loss than 8 kW covers, step up to the S12, or the three-phase S14 and S18. If the property has no spare electrical capacity, have the supply assessed first.
