While there are several boilers on the market from a variety of different brands, finding the best boiler for your home can be a difficult decision. Currently there are three main types of domestic boilers; combi boilers, system boilers and conventional boilers. When it comes to choosing the best type of boiler for your home, there are plenty of different factors to consider including: number of people, type of home, water pressure etc.
Combi-boiler
Combi-boilers are the most affordable residential boiler for most households. They control both hot water and central heating, and their energy efficiency makes them the unit of choice for environmentally-conscious homeowners. Heating water directly from the mains and whenever a tap is turned on, you can get unlimited hot water whenever you need it. There’s no need for a cylinder or water tank, saving you space in your home and cutting down the installation time.
Combi-boilers don’t require a cold-water tank or a hot water cylinder which helps to save space. That means they’re an ideal option if you live in a flat or a smaller household. Combi-boilers also heat up the water directly from the mains meaning you get unlimited hot water without waiting.
System Boiler
Do you have more than one bathroom in your home? If so a system boiler could be the solution.
Conventional Boiler
Conventional boilers takes up more space than other solutions and are far less efficient with hot water not on demand.
