Combi Boiler Information - Bedroom Boiler Combination In Installation

A combi (or combination boiler) is increasingly popular in the UK and is not only a compact appliance but one that it also highly efficient. Combination Boilers now account for more than half the new boilers installed in Britain every year.

The Advantages of using a Combination Boiler to heat your home:

Traditional heating and hot water systems store domestic hot water whereas Combination Boilers do not. Instead, Combination Boilers heat water directly from the cold mains as someone requires it. This can save a great deal of money by not having to constantly keep a storage of hot water. Also in households where there is a great demand for water, a large family for instance, a combination boiler can be very beneficial. With a traditional boiler the water tank gets depleted as you use how water resulting in the need to fill it up which can take time. Because a combination boiler heats water as you it is needed it is far more convenient.

Combination Boilers eliminate the risk of freezing and flooding associated with traditional methods by not needing a tank in the loft. A Combi boiler also does not require a hot water cylinder or any of the connecting pipework. This can save a great deal of space which can be very useful for smaller homes, bungalows and flats (where loft space may be minimal) and for homeowners who wish to renovate their lofts into an extra rooms.

A combination boiler also provides hot water at mains pressure, giving you powerful showering without the need for a pump.

Due to its ability to extract more heat from the flue gases normally lost to the environment through the flue system, a condensing combi boiler is much more efficient.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

New Government regulations (Part L) require that from the 1st of April 2005 all new boiler installations must be of the 'high efficiency' condensing type. There are very few exceptions to this law.
