Factors like the size of your home, the number of bathrooms, the age of your existing system and the space available all impact on the type of boiler we install. That is why we can’t guarantee the installation of a combi boiler.
However, our gas safe engineers are well versed in the installation of all types of boiler.
Combi boilers (combination boilers) are normally the most cost-effective. This is because they are directly connected to the cold water mains so do not require a cylinder. So, not only do they take up less space they also supply pressurised hot water when it is required. Therefore, combi boilers are ideal for smaller properties.
System boilers always work in conjunction with hot water cylinders. So they are more common in homes with more than 2 bathrooms. However, all the external components are contained within the boiler so there is no need for a header tank. So, they take up less room than a conventional system.
Conventional boilers (also known as regular/heat only boilers) are most common in larger homes. This is because they work alongside hot water cylinders which can supply multiple bathrooms. Additionally, a header tank, usually found in the loft, is used to heat the property. This means the tank is gravity filled and not pressurised like a combi/system boiler installations.
