When you arrive at the decision that you need to install a new boiler, whether it's to modernise a home or because your current boiler has finally beyond the point of no return, you'll have a lot of different decisions to make. Which boiler you need for your home depends on the size of your property, the number of family members living with you, and even how many bathrooms you have. Boiler Boys London are here to help you make these decisions so that you get the boiler that's best suited for your home in Ealing.
What factors should I consider when choosing the best boiler for my home?

Which boiler should I choose if I have a larger home?
For larger homes or residences with 3 or more bathrooms, both regular and system boilers are viable options. They're also ideal for families with a high need for hot water, thanks to a big storage cylinder that we are able to install.
System boilers will save you storage space, which may not be an issue if you have lots of it. A system boiler may also be less expensive if you're starting from scratch because it doesn't require a tank.
On the other hand, for homes that already have a regular boiler installed, and if the hot water tank is in good working order, it won't need to be replaced. In some respects, switching from the same type of boiler to a newer boiler of the same type is easier, and likely to be a more affordable option for you, as it means you won't have to have your water tank removed.
What about combi boilers?
Most modern homes have a combi (combination) boiler installed. These types of boilers provide heat and hot water direct from the mains and they're practical and fairly low cost to run when there is just one bathroom to serve, making them suitable for smaller homes and smaller families.
If however you have a large family and/or two bathrooms, and you have a combi boiler system, it's definitely worth considering resizing your boiler to a larger system, preferably to a regular boiler system with hot water tanks so you always have enough hot water.
