Types of Boilers

If you’re in the market for a new boiler, you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the different types out there. Don’t worry, though — we’re here to break it down for you. In this article, we talk about the three main types of boilers: combi, conventional (heat-only) and system boilers.

Combi Boilers

Combi boilers are the most popular type of boiler in the UK, and for good reason. Combi boilers are compact, efficient and perfect for smaller homes or flats. They heat water on demand, so you don’t need a separate hot water storage tank. This means you can save space and enjoy instant hot water whenever you need it. 

Plus, combi boilers are generally more energy-efficient than other types, which can help you save money on your energy bills.

Conventional Boilers

Also known as regular boilers, conventional boilers are a great choice if you have a larger home with multiple bathrooms or a high hot water demand. Heat-only boilers work by heating water in a separate storage tank, which is then pumped to your taps and radiators as needed. While they do take up more space than combi boilers, they can be a good option if you have a traditional heating system with a separate hot water tank.

System Boilers

System boilers are similar to heat-only boilers in that they require a separate hot water storage tank. However, the key difference is that all the main components of the boiler are built into a single unit, making installation a bit easier.

System boilers are also good for homes with multiple bathrooms or a high hot water demand, and they can be more efficient than heat-only boilers.

Which boiler is right for me?

Which boiler is right for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. If you have a smaller home and want a compact, efficient boiler that provides instant hot water, a combi boiler might be the way to go. If you have a larger home with multiple bathrooms and a traditional heating system, a heat-only boiler could be a good choice. And if you want a boiler that’s easy to install and efficient, a system boiler might be the best option.
