Boiler Types

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Boilers are a tricky business, there is a lot of choice and it depends largely on your house what type of boiler best suits you. So let’s look at three different types of boiler and you decide what’s best for you.

Combi Boilers – A Combi Boiler, in its simplest terms combines your central heating with your domestic hot water. A Combi Boiler saves space in your house as you don’t need a water tank and all the piping that comes with one so it’s a smart choice for a smaller home. Another benefit is that for a larger home you can have more than one combi boiler to heat separate locations.

Heat Only BoilersHeat Only Boilers only provide heating for radiators and they require a separate storage tank for water. Although they take up more space they are more efficient for larger properties. You will need a large and well insulated cylinder to get the most out of a Heat Only Boiler.

Floor Standing Boilers – Also known as floor standing condensing boilers. These are the most efficient boiler on the market converting 88% of the fuel into energy. These are available as both convention boilers and combi boilers.
