There are 3 different types of high-efficiency condensing boiler each type delivers all the benefits of high-efficiency technology, but which one you choose will depend on several factors, including your property, your lifestyle how many bathrooms you have and our professional advice. So how do you know which boiler will benefit you most.

Regular Boiler
System Boiler
Combi Boiler

Combi Boiler
The major difference between a combi and any other type of boiler is that a combi eliminates the need to store hot water - so no hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard. It is both a high-efficiency water heater and central heating boiler, combined within one compact unit, the further benefits of this are a significant saving on hot water costs, and the fact that hot water is delivered through your taps or shower at mains pressure. So you can enjoy powerful showering without the need for a pump. A disadvantage is you can not run more then two bathrooms with this system because of the low hot water flow rate.

Regular Boiler
If you are replacing an older model of boiler, the chances are that you will have a regular boiler. A typical conventional system incorporates a boiler and extended controls, a feed and expansion cistern, and a hot water cylinder which is often fed by a cold water storage cistern located in the loft.

System Boiler
Unlike a combi, both a system boiler and a regular boiler work on the principle of stored hot water - but a system boiler differs from a regular boiler in some important respects.

Firstly, many of the components of the heating and hot water system like the pump are built in, Secondly, the hot water is pumped from the boiler through the system to the radiators and hot water cylinder, resulting in a fast response and more economical running costs. The system boiler removes the need for a feed and expansion cistern. This boiler is the ideal partner for an unvented hot water cylinder.
