Combi Boiler Information - Boiler Combination Europa Gas
A combi (or combination boiler) is a compact and highly efficient unit giving all the heating and hot water you need, with significant savings on running and fitting costs. It also eliminates the need to store hot water. This means that there is no hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard, no tank (“water cistern”) in the loft and none of the linking pipework.
Combination Boilers have a number of benefits:
They save space: A combination boiler is perfect for smaller homes that do not have that much space. If you wish to convert your loft, the combi boiler will make things signicantly easier (most can be wall hung in the kitchen) .
They save money: Hot water is heated instantaneously It is easy to install and does not require the tank, cylinder and pipework. This can reduce hot water costs significantly which can account for up to 60% of a typical domestic fuel bill.
Supplies water at mains pressure: A combination boiler provides hot water at mains pressure which allows you to have a strong shower instead of having to fill a bath. This will also decrease your energy bills.
Brilliant for homes that have a regular demand for hot water: If you live in a home with a lot of people the demand for hot water will be regular and a combi will provide you with hot water unlike a traditional boiler that requires you to wait until the tank’s water is refilled and reheated. This can be very inconvenient.
Why use a Condensing Combination Boiler?
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.
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.
