What Are The Different Types of Boilers?

You should know that there are three types of boilers available to purchase: combi boilers, regular boilers, and system boilers. A combi boiler, or combination boiler, is highly efficient and can significantly reduce your heating bills. In a way, a heat-only boiler is similar to a regular boiler that only maintains hot water until it is required. A regular boiler is the smaller variety used primarily for domestic use in smaller household projects. A system boiler is just an upgrade to a regular boiler that also supplies hot water to a storage cylinder and then also stores it all in one unit.

Here Is A Breakdown Of The Different Types Of Boilers:

Combi Boilers

If you buy a combi boiler, you can expect more continuous hot water and generally pay less for your gas, but it also comes with a tank for drinking water in the event of an emergency. It’s important to note that combi boilers tend to take up more space than traditional boilers. Make sure to find out if there is enough room before installing a new combi boiler. The positive thing about a combi boiler is that it heats water and radiators separately, which means you can take total control over them. If your house is particularly cold, you can turn down or completely off your radiators to save energy and keep heat inside. Similarly, to save money on heating bills, decrease or turn off your water heater and rely on hot showers instead.

Heat-Only Boilers

Heat-only boilers only produce heat and don’t provide hot water on-demand. These can be fired by natural gas, LPG, or oil and are generally more cost-effective than a combination boiler. Typically these boilers are used in areas where water isn’t required continually, such as a conservatory, utility room, or storeroom.

System Boilers

With a multi-burner heating system, this type of boiler produces enough hot water for an entire home including radiators and underfloor heating. In comparison to other boiler types, it is more efficient and adaptable. You can install this as part of a new house build or after renovating an existing house with natural gas central heating for over 10 years.

It is essential to have your boiler serviced yearly, especially in the winter when break-downs occur most often. If you allow a small problem to grow as a result of neglect, you could end up with no heating or a big bill to pay if the parts need replacing. Even worse, in some cases where a boiler breaks down, the water in the pipes may freeze and burst.
