Gas is imported to your home through the gas lines, making it easy to heat your home everyday without taking up extra space.

What Kind of Gas Boiler Do You Need?
When deciding on a new gas boiler, the first thing you should consider is the type. There are three main types; all of them will heat both your radiators and your hot water, but they work in different ways.
1) Combi boilers (or combination boilers)
Combi boilers are now the most popular choice in the United Kingdom. They provide instant, limitless hot water and heating without the use of a water tank or cylinder, saving space. However, because the water is drawn directly from the mains, the flow and pressure may be reduced if you need hot water from more than one tap at the same time, making them not always the best option for larger homes.
2) Conventional boilers (or regular or ‘heat only' boilers)
Conventional boilers have tanks in the loft and a hot water cylinder, so they take up more space than a combi boiler, and you can't just turn on a tap and have hot water - it has to be heated first. However, you can use multiple taps at the same time without losing pressure, and if the cylinder has an electric immersion heater, you will still have hot water even if your boiler fails.
3) System boilers
System boilers are a sort of middle ground, with a water cylinder but no tank. They have many of the same benefits and drawbacks as traditional boilers, but because they don't have a tank, so they take up less space. This configuration also eliminates the possibility of the tanks freezing and leaking in the loft.
