WHAT TYPE OF BOILER INSTALLATION DO I NEED?
COMBINATION BOILERS IN Wheathampstead
A Combi boiler will give you an unlimited, instantaneous hot water supply, in addition to your central heating needs.
Combi boilers are great for smaller properties, such as flats or small houseshomes, where space is limited. A combination boiler is extremely energy efficient and cost-effective as water is only heated when you needit and not heated and stored.
The disadvantage to combination boilers is that when there are more than two taps being used at the same time, there is a noticeable difference in the flow rate of the hot water as the water comes directly from the mains water supply.
SYSTEM BOILERS IN Wheathampstead
This boiler installation only acts as a heat source, either you can use it to heat your radiators or under-floor heating, or you can use it to heat the water in your hot water cylinder.
They are similar to conventional boilers, with the difference being that they contain additional components, such as a central heating pump, pressure relief valve, and expansion vessel.
System boilers, similar to combination boilers, are installed as part of a “sealed” heating system, meaning, if also fitted with an unvented cylinder, there are no need for any tanks in your loft space.
CONVENTIONAL BOILERS IN Wheathampstead
A Conventional boiler installation also acts only as a heat source,similar to system boilers, however, they have no additional components in them.
They are sometimes installed in a ‘classic’ type of heating system, where there may be a cylinder, along with pumps to boost water pressure to baths and showers.
These types of boilers are suited to older heating systems, where increased pressures used in a ‘sealed’ system may cause issues with leaks etc.
