BOILER GUIDE

If you buy a boiler that’s too small, it’ll work overtime to meet your heating and hot water demands, costing more money. However, if it’s too big, the boiler will be using more energy than you need. As a rule of thumb, the larger your property, the more heat and hot water you need, meaning the higher heat output you’ll require. 

 Combi boilers are one of the most common boiler types in the UK. A combi boiler heats water on demand, no hot water is stored. They are a combination of a water heater and a central heating boiler in one system. Combi boilers rely on a connection to the mains gas grid to generate the heat and hot water within the property. 

 A system boiler is very similar to a regular boiler set up. It features a separate cylinder for storing water, which can provide a constant supply of hot water throughout the home, unlike combi boilers which can only heat water on demand. 

 Electric boilers are a great solution for heating homes which have limited or no access to gas or oil. By not requiring the use of gas or oil, electric boilers have the added benefit of flexible installation. Unlike traditional gas boilers, an electric boiler can be installed in a variety of locations throughout your home.
