Combi Boiler Information - Boiler Combination Rated

Combination boilers are a tankless system of heating water. It is a compact and highly efficient unit giving all the heating and hot water you need. The combination boiler heats water instantaneously as you use it and this can generate significant savings on your energy bills.

As well as financial savings, Combination Boilers can save space as it is a method of heating your water without the need of a tank (water cistern), water cylinder and the linking pipework. Instead the combi can often be mounted on the wall of your kitchen. This is especially useful for owners of smaller homes.

Other advantages include less risk of freezing and flooding from a tank that would be used in traditional water heating methods. Also as a combi supplies hot water at mains pressure, it gives you strong power showering without the need for a pump.

By using a combi, 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 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 Tip: When you use your washing machine or dish washer, remember to put on full loads. This will not only save energy but also water.
