Whether you are looking to upgrade your boiler to a new one or would like to make the most out of the advantages that come along with a new boiler, choosing the right type of boiler for your home can be difficult! With many types of boilers available, how do you know which one is the right for you and your home? Well, here at DC Heating, Plumbing & Renewables, we go through the different types of boilers to help you make your decision!
Types of Boilers
Combination Boilers
AKA combi boilers! They come as a single unit which generates all the heating and hot water throughout your home! They also do not come along with a hot water tank, making them the perfect boiler for a smaller-sized home! They work by collecting water through the cold mains and heating it via an exchanger, providing you with instant hot water.
Heat Only Boilers
These are also known as regular boilers, they work great by working alongside a hot water cylinder. Heat-only boilers are ideal for homes with multiple bathrooms because they allow running hot water at the same time. They also work great with older radiators because they require high water pressure, which cannot be provided with a combi or system boilers.
What exactly is a back boiler?
A back boiler is a form of heat-only boiler that is housed in a chimney breast and features a fire at the front. A back boiler cannot currently be replaced in the same location. If you have an existing back boiler and want to replace it with a new boiler, you must choose a wall-hung heat-only boiler somewhere in the house or consider a combi boiler.
System Boilers
These types of boilers are similar to combi boilers and are great for larger-sized homes, especially when there are multiple people using hot water at the same time. They store hot water in a cylinder, giving you access to hot water at all times! If the hot water does run out, you may have to wait for it to warm the water up again.
