Is a Combi Boiler for You

In today’s compact society, with space at a premium, the idea of a tankless water heating system is obviously very attractive. A conventional boiler heats water continuously, even when you don’t need it, whereas a combination boiler heats water as it passes through, thereby using less unnecessary energy. They also take up less space, so are particularly suited to smaller houses and flats.

A combi boiler is extremely reliable. You’re less likely to have to fork out on repairs and maintenance, although, as with any boiler, an annual service is a good idea if you want to save money in the long run.

The installation of a combi is a lot cheaper than a tank system. There’s not as much kit to install and therefore less labour to pay for. The unit itself uses fewer parts because it is so compact.

There are many benefits to choosing a combi boiler. Once installed, they are very cost effective to run, providing unlimited amounts of hot water whenever you need it. Because they act on demand, you only pay for the water you are using, making them cheaper and more energy efficient than a conventional boiler. Less energy means less CO emissions, so the combi is better for the environment.

There are a range of combi boilers on the market, including Saunier Duval , Vaillant and Potterton. These should all be fitted by a CORGI registered engineer who can offer advice before you buy as well as the installation itself. Purchasing boiler cover is a smart move if you want to avoid hefty repair costs in the future, although a combination boiler will improve your chances of remaining free from breakdowns for a few years, as they are made with high quality materials with the utmost durability.

British Gas are among those companies who offer new boiler purchase, installation, maintenance and Homecare insurance.
