🔧 Combi Boilers
A combi (combination) boiler provides heating and hot water directly from the mains, without the need for water tanks or a hot water cylinder. This makes it an ideal space-saving solution for smaller properties.
Benefits:
-
Instant hot water on demand
-
No loft tanks or airing cupboard cylinders required
-
Compact and energy-efficient
Best suited for:
-
Flats and smaller homes
-
1–2 bathrooms
-
Properties with good mains water pressure
🔧 System Boilers
System boilers use a hot water cylinder to store water for use around the home. They’re great for families or larger households where multiple taps or showers are often used at once.
Benefits:
-
Consistent hot water to multiple outlets
-
No need for a cold water tank
-
Compatible with solar thermal systems
Best suited for:
-
Medium to large properties
-
Homes with 2+ bathrooms
-
Lower water pressure areas
🔧 Conventional Boilers
Also known as heat-only or regular boilers, these are the traditional boiler systems many homes still use. They require both a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank, typically located in the loft.
Benefits:
-
Ideal for older systems with existing pipework
-
Handles high hot water demand
-
Works well in areas with very low mains pressure
Best suited for:
-
Older homes or larger properties
-
Households with high hot water usage
-
Properties with existing conventional systems
