The prospect of having a new boiler installed in your home can be a little daunting. There’s a lot to consider and you want to get it right because a boiler is one of the most important things in your home! Your boiler will provide you and your family with heat and hot water, and having one installed that fits your needs is the key to success.
Here at Bog Standard Plumbing and Heating, we offer quality boiler installations to homes across Dudley. We’ve installed more boilers than we can count, and have written the following guide to help you decide on the type that’s right for you.
Choosing the right boiler for your home in Dudley
Here’s a list of boiler types to consider:
Regular boilers
Regular boilers can also be called conventional or traditional boilers. They work well in many different types of home but are especially suitable for homes with multiple bathrooms. Because a regular boiler runs from a hot water cylinder and tank, it allows multiple sources of hot water to be run at once, for example, a shower and a bath.
You won’t get hot water instantly from a regular boiler, but as some can be stored in the cylinder, it will stay hot after you’ve heated it.
System boilers
Similar to regular boilers, system boilers also work alongside a hot water cylinder. However, they don’t require a separate water tank. This means they can still work well for homes with a higher demand for water while reducing the storage space required. With system boilers, there is the additional option to use them with solar thermal systems, making them potentially green and energy-efficient.
Combi boiler
Combi boilers, or combination boilers, pipe water directly from the mains so there is no need to wait for it to heat up - you can enjoy a shower or bath whenever you like! There is no tank or immersion heater for a combi boiler, so they save on storage and are also believed to be more energy efficient as there is no wasted hot water sitting unused.
Combi boilers only work well for homes with one bathroom, however, because they can only send hot water to a single source. This means you can’t have a shower while someone else is running the hot water tap in the kitchen, for example.
