Although a boiler may not be the most exciting item in your home, it is often one of the most essential. The boiler ensures your home is warm, so you can get out of bed and take a hot shower every morning or relax in a warm tub at night.
There are many boilers available, so how can you decide which one is best for your home?
There are three types of boilers. You need to understand the differences between each type of boiler so you can choose which one is right for you.
Combi boilers
Combi boilers can be compact enough to fit in a small kitchen cupboard. They heat water from the mains and provide a powerful shower.
Combi boilers can be used in small- to medium-sized homes because they don’t need a separate hot water tank or cold water storage tank. They are not recommended for homes with multiple baths or showers running at the same time as they might not be able to handle the demand.
Combi boilers heat according to demand. They are also environmentally friendly and economically efficient.
Boilers that are regularly used
The regular boiler, also known as heat-only boilers or conventional boilers, is designed for large households that use lots of hot water in many areas of their home at once. These boilers require a hot water tank and a cold water storage tank. They are often located in the loft. You must wait until the tank fills up with hot water.
Regular boilers are best suited for homes with traditional central heating systems and hot water systems. These older systems don’t always have the ability to handle water at higher pressures from mains. Combi boilers and system boilers can.
If you live in an area with low mains pressure, regular boilers may be recommended. This is because gravity raises water pressure as the water moves from the storage tank to your home.
Boilers for system boilers
System boilers heat water, and then store it in separate hot water cylinders. These are often stored in an airing cupboard. They don’t require a cold water storage tank like regular boilers. However, system boilers can handle multiple bathrooms at once.
