Main Boilers: Eco Compact and Eco Elite
Main is part of the same manufacturing group as Baxi and is aimed at a value end of the market, often found in rental properties and smaller flats.
Main is part of the same manufacturing group as Baxi and is aimed at a value end of the market, often found in rental properties and smaller flats. We service and repair Main boilers as part of general gas work.
How the range is built
The Eco Compact and Eco Elite ranges share some internal components with Baxi models, which helps with parts sourcing on the more common faults.
What we see go wrong
Diverter valve and pressure sensor issues are the most frequent, alongside the general wear you'd expect on a value-positioned combi after some years of use.
Servicing and parts
Because of the shared parts base with Baxi, availability is generally reasonable even though Main is a smaller brand in its own right.
Questions we get asked
Is Main the same as Baxi?
They're part of the same manufacturing group and share some components, but Main is sold and warranted as a separate brand.
Are Main boilers reliable for rental properties?
We don't make brand reliability claims — we can tell you what we find on inspection and service it accordingly.
Can you do a landlord gas safety check on a Main boiler?
Yes, as Gas Safe registered engineers we carry out landlord gas safety checks across all boiler makes.
