Combi Boiler Information – Biasi Combination Boiler
Combination Boilers are heating units that are very efficient and save money on heating costs and installation fees. They are normally wall hung.
Unlike a conventional heating and hot water system, a combi boiler system does not store domestic hot water. It heats water directly from the cold mains - as you use it. There's no hot water cylinder, no tank in the loft (and so less risk of freezing and flooding), and none of the connecting pipework. So you not only save space, but also reduce hot water costs - which can account for up to 60% of a typical domestic fuel bill.
A combi also supplies hot water at mains pressure, giving you exhilarating power showering without the need for a pump. And as, on average, a shower uses considerably less water than a typical bath, the savings on hot water costs and water consumption can be significant.
A condensing combi boiler is more efficient due to its ability to extract more heat from the flue gases normally lost to the environment through the flue system.
Energy Saving Advice: If you do not use your fireplace, you can block the chimney (paper and cardboard will do) as a great deal of energy can be lost this way.

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.
