There are many reasons why you would want to replace your boilers. Maybe, you have just relocated to a new house, and you need to replace the existing heating system, or your heating system has broken down. Some people may even replace their heating system for improved performance especially if they have had it for a long time. But before replacing the boilers you have, it is best first to understand what type you are using.

Combi

If you are using a combi boiler system, it means that you get hot water instantly when you turn on the taps. With combi boilers, you do not need to have tanks in the roof space since they heat water directly from the mains.

Standard

Commonly known as conventional water boilers, standard boilers work by having one hot water cylinder and a cold water tank at the rooftop. If you have such a setup, then most likely you are using the standard boiler system.

System

System boilers work by having hot water storage cylinders with pressure gauges at their front. You could be using a system boiler if you don't have a cold water storage tank in the loft.

Back Boiler

People who have Potterton Powermax mostly prefers a back boiler, or it can be built-in behind your fireplace if you are using either electricity or gas.

There are many types of boilers you can choose from but, combi boiler systems are the best because they are affordable, durable and do not take up a lot of space in your house.
