Grant Vortex Eco Utility Boiler Only
The Grant Vortex Eco Utility Open Vent Oil Boiler is a practical and efficient heating solution for homes without access to mains natural gas. Designed for residential heating applications, this oil-fired boiler combines dependable performance with a compact design, making it suitable for a range of installation environments.
The Vortex Eco Utility is available in 15–21kW and 21–26kW output ranges, giving homeowners and installers flexibility when choosing a boiler to suit different property sizes and heating demands.
Efficient Oil-Fired Heating
The Grant Vortex Eco Utility is designed to make effective use of heating oil, helping reduce unnecessary fuel consumption while providing reliable heat for the home. The Vortex Eco range is recognised for its high-efficiency operation, with actual performance depending on the specific model, system design and installation conditions.
As an oil-fired boiler, it is particularly well suited to properties in areas where mains gas is unavailable and heating oil is stored on-site in an oil tank.
Open-Vented System Design
This boiler is designed for use with an open-vented heating system, often referred to as a tank-fed system. These systems typically use a feed and expansion tank to supply and manage water within the heating circuit.
Open-vented systems remain a reliable choice for many properties, particularly where an existing heating system already uses this configuration or where mains water pressure makes a sealed system less suitable.
Two Output Ranges
The Grant Vortex Eco Utility is available in two output ranges, allowing the boiler to be matched to different heating requirements:
-
15–21kW – suitable for smaller homes and properties with more modest heating requirements.
-
21–26kW – provides additional heating capacity for larger homes or properties with greater heat demand.
The appropriate output should be determined by a qualified heating professional based on the property's heat-loss calculations and overall heating system requirements.
Compact and Practical Design
The Vortex Eco Utility range is designed with practicality in mind, offering a compact format that can be suitable for installation in areas such as utility rooms, kitchens or garages, subject to the relevant installation requirements.
Its design also allows for straightforward access during servicing and maintenance, helping heating professionals carry out routine checks efficiently.
Lower-Noise Operation
Oil boilers can be positioned in areas close to living spaces, so keeping operating noise under control can be important. The Grant Vortex Eco Utility is designed to operate with reduced noise, helping minimise disruption during everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output options are available for the Grant Vortex Eco Utility?
The Grant Vortex Eco Utility is available in two output ranges: 15–21kW and 21–26kW. The appropriate option will depend on the property's heating requirements and the design of the heating system.
What does open vent mean on an oil boiler?
An open-vent boiler is designed to operate with a tank-fed heating system, which typically uses a feed and expansion tank. This type of system is commonly found in older properties but can still be suitable for modern installations where an open-vent configuration is appropriate.
Is the Grant Vortex Eco Utility suitable for homes without mains gas?
Yes. As an oil-fired boiler, the Grant Vortex Eco Utility is designed for properties that use stored heating oil rather than mains natural gas. It can therefore be a suitable heating option for many rural and off-gas-grid homes.
