When it comes to home heating, there are a few different options to choose from. If you're not sure what type of boiler is best for your home, read on for a breakdown of the most common types. Each one has its own benefits and drawbacks, so be sure to consider all of your options before making a decision.
Combi Boilers
A combi boiler, also known as a combination boiler, provides both heating and hot water directly from the boiler itself. This means that there is no need for a separate hot water cylinder or cold water storage tank, making it a more compact and efficient option. In addition, combi boilers are quick and easy to install, and they can be used with almost any type of property.
As the name suggests, combi boilers combine two functions into one appliance, making them a popular choice for small homes and apartments. Thanks to their compact size and simplified installation process, combi boilers can offer considerable savings over traditional heating systems.
Heat Only Boilers
A heat only boiler is a gas boiler that provides hot water and heating for your home but does not supply gas to cook with. In most households, the gas engineer will install a new boiler and connect it to the gas mains. The new boiler will have a control panel with a thermostat, which you can use to set the temperature of your home. The boiler will also have a timer, so you can set it to come on and off at certain times of the day.
A heat only boiler is a great choice for those who do not use gas to cook with, as it is more energy efficient than a combi boiler.
System Boilers
A gas engineer will usually recommend a system boiler if you need a new boiler. System boilers are suitable for larger households with more than one bathroom, as they provide more power and water pressure than other types of boiler. They work by heating water in a storage tank, which is then pumped around the house to provide hot water and central heating. One advantage of system boilers is that they're less likely to develop leaks, as all the components are stored in the one unit. However, they do require regular maintenance in order to keep them running efficiently.
