Combi Boiler (Combination Boiler)
A combi boiler is a compact, all-in-one heating system that provides both hot water and central heating on demand, without the need for a separate water tank or cylinder. It heats water directly from the mains, making it a great space-saving option for smaller homes and apartments. Combi boilers are energy-efficient and provide unlimited hot water, but they may struggle to maintain water pressure if multiple taps are used at the same time.
System Boiler
A system boiler is a middle ground between regular and combi boilers, as it works with a hot water cylinder but does not require a separate cold water tank. This makes it more space-efficient than a regular boiler while still being able to supply hot water to multiple taps simultaneously. System boilers are a great choice for medium to large households that need strong water pressure and a reliable supply of hot water throughout the home.
Regular Boiler (Heat-Only Boiler)
A regular boiler, also known as a heat-only boiler, is a traditional heating system that requires a separate hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank, usually located in the loft. This type of boiler is ideal for larger homes with multiple bathrooms, as it can supply hot water to several taps at once without losing pressure. Regular boilers work well with older heating systems that may not be compatible with high-pressure alternatives like combi or system boilers.
