Mistral Boilers: Compare Efficiency, Warranty & Price

Mistral Boilers have over 40 years experience in producing oil fired heating boilers which is clear from their commitment to developing very efficient boilers with low emissions. Mistral offer an extensive range of oil-fired combi and system boilers that are ideal for off-grid properties looking for a high-end oil boiler.

When comparing oil boilers, it’s important to look for the output rating, efficiency, warranty and potential cost of each unit. By comparing each of these, you’ll end up with a well-rounded picture of whether the boiler will suit the heating and hot water demands of your home.

• Output rating: Installing a boiler that’s been designed to meet the level of demand you have for central heating and hot water is essential. Otherwise, you could end up with a boiler that doesn’t heat up your home or higher energy bills. This is why looking at the output rating is essential. Measured in kilowatts (kW), the output rating shows the power of the boiler and most domestic boilers have an output of 24-42 kW although higher and lower are available.
• Efficiency: As oil is a fossil fuel, it produces waste gases when burned. This means that not all of the fuel is converted into usable energy – the same goes for natural gas and LPG too. Efficiency displays how much of the fuel is used to provide central heating and hot water. Mistral boilers have been designed with efficiency in mind, with many models achieving efficiencies of over 90%.
• Warranty: Mistral boilers are covered by a 2 year warranty on the parts with 5 years on the heat exchanger (the part where heat is transfered to the liquid that circualtes to the central heating or hot water outlet). This warranty will see that you’re covered should a fault arise after the installation.
• Price: Often the deciding fator when it comes to finding a new boiler is the price. Mistral manufacture high-end oil boilers and the price reflects that. And while this might put you off, a more premium boiler is much more likely to heat your home efficiently for a longer period of time.

If you’re considering a Mistral oil boiler for your upcoming boiler replacement, our Boiler Comparison Tool will help you to find the most suitable model for your home. When you see a boiler you like the look of hit the ‘add boiler’ symbol to add it to your comparison. You can include up to 4 boilers and we recommend including your existing boiler as part of any comparisons you make.

Review Mistral combi boilers

Mistral combi boilers provide heating and hot water on demand without the need for a hot water cylinder. There’s an extensive number of models to choose between with outputs ranging from 20 kW right up to 70 kW with units designed for internal or external installation.

A Mistral system boiler needs to be installed alongside a hot water cylinder, which is where domestic hot water is stored until a hot water tap is turned on. Rather than providing instant hot water, this means that they’re able to meet a higher demand for domestic hot water than a combi boiler. Mistral system boilers are available as models designed for installation within the home or in an outdoor garden area.
