What size boiler do I need for my home?
Choosing the Best Boiler For Your Home
There are a few main boilers to consider that include the following:
Combi boilers- These are compact and have all of the same features as a regular central heating system within a single unit. These boilers create hot water when you turn it on, rather than keeping hot water stored. These boilers are compact, run efficiently and are best for small and medium homes.
Standard boilers - Standard boilers include tanks with heat exchangers that work to heat up water and send it throughout your home. The water from your mains gets sent to the tank where it is then sent through a hot water cylinder. These boilers are best for large homes that are a bigger demand for heating and hot water.
System boilers - System boilers include an individual cylinder for storing hot water where it can maintain the heat regardless of how many taps or showers are on at once. These boilers include a heating circuit that’s provided with water from your mains system that is pressurised. Large households benefit the most from system boilers.
