Considering replacing your boiler?

When it comes to choosing a new boiler, there are two main options to choose from – conventional or combination. But how do you know which one’s right for you?

To help you make a decision, we’ve put together some essential things you should know about each option.

Conventional Boilers

• Use a storage tank to supply hot water – water’s heated by cast iron heat exchangers.
• Hot water may run out – and if it does, there may be a delay while the tank fills up again.
• Needs a fair amount of space – this is because the hot water cylinder needs to be connected to the cold water storage tank.
• Installation is more complicated.
• Newer models can be adapted to meet your heating requirements.

Combination (Combi) Boilers

• There’s no storage tank – water is supplied directly from the mains.
• You’ll never run out of hot water – it’s heated as and when you need it.
• Takes up less space – because there’s no storage tank.
• Water’s provided at mains pressure – so you’ll be able to get the strong pressure you want.
• Can help lower energy bills – you’ll only ever heat the water you’re using.
