What is best?
Choosing the right boiler or central heating system system for your home is difficult, especially if you do not know what you are doing. The different types of gas boilers available come with their own sets of pros and cons, as well as an assortment of technical differences depending on your priorities.

Combi boiler installation Manchester
Combi boilers produce gas heating and hot water for a home, with water heated instantly without the need for a hot water storage cylinder. A combi boiler will typically have low maintenance and repair costs covered in the fixed price under the new boiler guarantee. This is the ideal type of gas boiler for smaller households with less hot water requirements.
System Boilers installation Manchester
System boilers are similar to combination boilers (combi boiler) but requires a steel hot water storage cylinder to supply hot water throughout the property via the pipes and radiators. These are the ideal boilers for homes that have a high demand for hot water and are great for maintaining water pressure topped up by the mains supply.
Heat-only Boilers installation Manchester
A heat-only boiler, also known as a conventional boiler, also uses a hot water storage cylinder for hot water, but only to distributed throughout the central heating system. A conventional boiler comes with the cheapest replacement and repair costs of all the boiler types due to small size and simplicity of installation.
If you are not knowledgable about boilers, you should always seek advice from a reputable boiler installation company, or a reliable, gas safe registered heating engineer, before deciding on a boiler replacement. This is especially true if you need to know what boiler you have or if the situation is urgent, e.g. in the event of gas leaks causing foul smells or discolouring your carbon monoxide detector. At this point it is critical that boiler replacement or repair is done quickly, because the longer the old boiler is left, the more dangerous it is.
