Warrington Homeowners Boiler Advice

Here are the differences between the main three types of boiler so you can identify which is the right type for Warrington homeowners.

Warrington Homeowners – Combi Boiler

A combi boiler (combi is short for “combination”) is a combination of a water heater and a central heating boiler. Combi boilers are able to heat mains water on demand whenever you use the hot taps, so you do not need to plan your hot water needs in advance, nor do you need a separate hot water cylinder.

They are a cost-effective and energy-efficient option because they only heat water that you use, and not a full cylinder every time. The Hot water is delivered at the mains pressure so you can have a powerful shower without needing a pump.

• A great choice for smaller properties.
• There is no hot water cylinder, freeing up your airing cupboard.
• As there is no cold-water tank, your loft space is freed up
• Pipework will not freeze in your loft
• Installation is usually cheaper

Warrington Homeowners – System Boiler

System boilers have a hot water storage cylinder, but all the other main components are built into the boiler, so they are quick and easy for your installer. There is no loft tank with system boilers.

• Great for homes with several bathrooms
• Can heat water in many taps at once
• No need for a tank in your loft

Warrington Homeowners – Regular Boilers

Regular boilers (also called “conventional” boilers”) are well suited to homes with older heating and water systems. They are a direct replacement for systems with hot and cold water storage tanks already in place.

• Regular boilers are good for homes where a lot of hot water is needed at the same time
• Conventional boilers are ideal for larger homes that have two or more bathrooms or ensuites
• If you have low water pressure, they can be a good choice
