What’s The Right Boiler For My Home?

There are a multitude of boilers and hot water solutions to suit virtually any home or living space, each of which offers different levels of price, performance and longevity. To guide you through this minefield and to answer the question ‘What’s The Right Boiler For My Home?’, you need a trusted plumber who can help you navigate your way through your options.

What’s The Right Boiler For My Home?

There are three main categories of central heating boiler to choose from. Each has its own pros and cons. Here are some of the solutions that are available.

Combi boilers

Combi boilers are best suited for homes that have a single bathroom. They generate instant hot water only when required and so they do not need you to have space in your loft or storage cupbard for a hot water storage tank. These boilers are compact in size, making them ideal for smaller homes

System boilers

System boilers are usually better suited for homes that have more than one bathroom. They deliver a regular supply of hot water, making them perfect for homes that have higher than average hot water needs. The possible downside for some families is that they need a water cylinder to store the hot water that is produced.

Regular (Open Vent) boilers

Open vent (or regular) boilers are also better suited than combi boilers for homes that have multiple bathrooms. They are ideal where a lot of hot water is used, especially if it is required at the same time, in several different rooms. Regular boilers are the best type of boiler if compatibility with solar water or heat pump heating systems is important to you.
