While a boiler might not be one of your most exciting home purchases, it’s often the most important. It keeps your home warm and allows you to take a hot tub or shower in the morning.
How can you pick the right boiler for your home, given all of the boiler options?
There are three main types. It is important to know the pros and cons of each in order to choose the new boiler Bromley for your home.
Combi boilers
Combi boilers come in small sizes and are often small enough that they can fit into a kitchen cupboard. They heat water directly from the mains, providing a strong shower.
Combi boilers are great for small and medium-sized homes as they don’t require either a separate hot or cold water storage container. Combi boilers are not recommended if more than one bathroom is being used at once.
Combi boilers heat only when it is needed, making them particularly eco-friendly.
Regular boilers
Regular boilers (also known as conventional boilers and heat-only bolos) are for large households who use a lot hot water in several areas at once. These boilers need a hot and cold water storage tank. Often, they are stored in the loft. The size of the tank limits how hot water you can get, so it is important to keep it topped up.
Regular boilers will suit homes with a traditional central heating or hot water system. Older systems may not be able to deal with water that is coming in at a higher pressure than the mains. However, combi boilers can.
Regular boilers can also be recommended for homes located in areas with low mains pressure. This happens because the gravity naturally increases the water pressure as it travels from its storage tanks to your home.
System boilers
System boilers heat water. They store it in a separate hot cylinder. They are smaller than regular boilers and don’t require cold water storage tanks. However, they can still handle multiple bathrooms simultaneously.
