Boilers can be quite an expensive investment that you have to make when you own a home. Make sure you get the right one for your household’s needs otherwise you may find yourself struggling with water pressure problems.
Here are three of the most popular boiler types available in the UK.
Combi
Combi boilers, or combination boilers were originally invented to combine both the hot water system and regular central heating into one device. This eradicates the need for separate cold and hot water tanks which take up valuable room in your home. The good thing about a combi boiler is they fit well in smaller properties. A big issue you may find if you have a combi boiler is they will lose water pressure if you try to run too many things at once.
Regular
Regular boilers consist of the main boiler, a hot water cylinder, and a water storage tank. This is the bulkiest type of boiler available to buy. Only really an option if you have a big enough house with a loft. The cylinder and the tank are usually stored in the loft so bear this in mind when thinking about this type of boiler. One problem with this boiler is that the water may need time to heat up to the correct temperature, it won’t always be there instantly.
System
System boilers, like combi boilers are great for bigger households. Especially if your household has more than one bathroom that gets used at the same time. Unlike with the regular boiler there is no need for a water tank which frees up a bit of space within the home. You will find many of the main components built into this type of boiler so there will be no need for external parts.
We hope this helps you on your way to buying a new boiler. Make sure you get one that is within your budget and fits your requirements.
