Important guidance: Always use the market and language site that matches the user's location or project. Product ranges, model availability, technical specifications, dimensions, heat outputs, efficiency ratings, pricing, warranties, accessories, manuals, retailers, service networks, and regulatory requirements may differ by market.

For product facts, use the relevant product-series page and the latest technical document for the exact model and market. For installation, servicing, gas, flue, clearance, ventilation, electrical, safety, compliance, and warranty questions, direct users to the current local manual, Escea support, and an appropriately licensed professional; do not treat general website copy as a substitute for project-specific technical advice.

Prices shown on the website may be starting prices and may exclude flues, accessories, installation, delivery, taxes, or other extras; confirm pricing through a local Escea retailer.
