What Are the Main Types of Boilers? 

There are three main types of boilers:

Combi boiler:

As only one hot water tap may be used from a combination boiler at a time, they are best for smaller families.

System boilers:

By storing the heated water in a cylinder, system boilers allow for simultaneous use of various hot water fixtures, such as showers and sinks. They are hermetically sealed, so they need plenty of water pressure from the mains. 

Heat-only boilers:

Heat-only boilers store water in a cylinder. However, the system relies on gravity, meaning that additional tanks are needed. They are your best bet if your house has several residents and you have poor water pressure.

What Affects Boiler Size? 

When choosing a new boiler, it's important to consider the size of your house and the amount of space you want to heat. Several variables influence boiler size, including the number of bathrooms, bedrooms, and radiators in your home.
