To Combi or not to Combi?

Is a combi boiler right for your home?

If you are looking to buy a new boiler, it is important you choose the right type of boiler for your home. Take into consideration your lifestyle and budget before committing to anything, as it may be one of the more expensive investments you make for your property.

If you have gas central heating, you may want to consider a combination (combi) boiler. A combi boiler is both a hot water tank and a central heating boiler.

What are the benefits of a combi boiler?

A combi boiler is a compact unit and negates the need for a separate hot water tank. It therefore saves you space. As you only have a single unit, instead of two, the cost of installation and maintenance are automatically lower. Combi boilers heat water instantly from the mains instead of heating water and storing it in the tank. When you turn on your tap water is delivered at mains pressure, so you can have powerful showers without needing a pump!

• Combi boilers are great for smaller properties
• No loft, no problem!
• One unit makes installation cheaper
• Less likely to have frozen pipes over winter
