Choosing how to heat your home should not be too confusing, whether you’re thinking of investing in a complete new central heating system, or simply replacing an old boiler. Carefully consider your own needs and then take professional advice.

Points to think about

Since April 2005 all newly installed gas boilers, and from April 2007 all oil boilers, must be the condensing type. There are very few exceptions to this rule and the good news is; they are considerably more efficient than the regular boilers and are, therefore, safer on the environment and will save you money on your fuel bill.

Conventional Boilers

If you have an older central heating system it is quite likely that you have a conventional boiler. The system comprises of a boiler, stored hot water, feed and expansion cistern and cold water storage tank.

System Boiler

A similar principle to the conventional boiler but the system is pressurized and many system components are built into the boiler resulting in a faster response and more economical running costs.

Combination Boilers

No need for a hot water storage cylinder or cold water storage tank, less pipework and less installation time Water is heated on demand and is delivered to your taps and shower at mains pressure.

Don’t forget..

The systems above are only described here in the very broadest sense but your professional installer will be able to advise you, in more detail, and discuss advantages and disadvantages of each boiler depending on your requirements.
