An Ultimate Boiler Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lloydsgas.co.uk\/boilers\">Boilers<\/a> are a vital part of your heating system, especially over the winter months. They heat up and send hot water to your radiators to warm up your home. All year round, they may be responsible for providing you with hot water itself. But what types of boiler systems are there? And what boiler do you have? It can be difficult to know which boiler is best for your home or water heating requirements, and whether you should stay with your current boiler or make a switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>This guide is going to look at the different types of boiler and how they might benefit you in your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Type Of Boiler System Do I Have?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be difficult to know the different types of boiler, let alone the boiler systems you have in your home. There are three main boiler types used in the UK:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combi, or combination boiler<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A heat only boiler<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A system boiler<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can usually tell what type of boiler it is by looking at it. A combi boiler usually has around five pipes coming out of the bottom. A heat only boiler has two pipes coming out of the top of the boiler, and one coming down. A system boiler usually only has three pipes coming down, and there will be a hot water cylinder as part of the boiler. Once you\u2019ve been able to identify your boiler, you can identify whether it is suitable for your current water requirements.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to find out more about these different boiler types.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Different Types Of Boiler And Boiler Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>There are many different types of boilers, but three main ones in the UK: the combi boiler, the heat only boiler and the system boiler.<\/strong> Each boiler fulfills a specific hot water requirement that should meet what your property and family need. This section will break down these three boiler types and explain their benefits to a home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combi Boilers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is A Combi Boiler?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combi, or combination boiler, connects directly to the cold water supply and converts it to hot water on demand. If you turn on the hot water tap, run a hot shower or bath, then the boiler will convert that water to hot water and divert it to the desired location. Combi boilers are compact and don\u2019t have a water tank like some other boilers, so take up less space. This makes them useful for smaller properties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does A Combi Boiler Work?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combi boiler will have a pipe that directly feeds into your mains cold water supply. If you run the cold tap, the mains cold water supply will directly supply water to your tap, bath or shower. If you run the hot tap, then water will be diverted from the cold water supply via your boiler. That means any hot water will have to go through your boiler first, providing hot water on demand. You won\u2019t need to wait for your boiler to heat up to receive hot water directly from a tap.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your combi boiler also directly heats up water from the cold water supply ready to heat up your radiators and central heating. Cold water is then returned to the boiler to be heated again. The heating is undertaken via combustion through oil or gas, which is why the water is heated immediately. Combi boilers are the most popular type of boiler replacement in the UK due to their ability to instantly heat water.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are The Pros And Cons Of A Combi Boiler?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A combi boiler heats water instantly, so you don\u2019t have to wait for water to warm up<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are small and compact, making it easier to fit them in a cupboard or smaller space<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideal for flats or smaller properties due to their size&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many heating engineers are trained in combi boilers, making it easy to service<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Cons:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combi boilers make it hard for two water outlets (e.g. two showers) to run at the same time<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your cold water mains supply is lower pressure than your combi boiler won\u2019t work well<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less useful for larger properties as only certain units can be used in tandem<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Takeaway<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If you have a smaller property then a combi boiler is likely the right choice for you. You will have instant hot water on demand and find it easier to slot this boiler into your home. If you have a larger home or lower water pressure a combi boiler might not be right for your property.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat Only Boilers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is A Heat Only Boiler?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat only boilers are also known as a regular boiler. Unlike combi boilers, they connect to a water tank to provide hot water. They will usually have a hot water tank, a cold water tank, and the boiler itself. They feed heat directly to the radiators and have a separate hot water storage tank for instant use. The cold water tank is usually located in the loft or a higher floor, which then feeds down to the boiler.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might have an old style boiler located in a chimney breast. This has an electric, natural or gas fire in front, and the heat from that is used to heat the boiler. You cannot directly replace this type of boiler and will need to look at heat only or alternative solutions when the time comes to replace your back boiler.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do Heat Only Boilers Work?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat only boilers work through a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/lloydsgas.co.uk\/heat-pumps-manchester\">pumps<\/a>, tanks and valves. The cold water tank will feed in water from the mains into a hot water tank, which is heated by the boiler. There is usually an expansion tank that will ensure the cold water tank has a constant supply of water available. The hot water tank will be used to supply water on-demand. Pumps will also help to send water to the radiators when central heating is required. These systems also have vents that need to be accessible from the outside, to let out waste air and draw in oxygen.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are The Pros And Cons Of Heat Only Boilers<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much better for large properties as water can be sent to multiple showers or units<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More suitable for lower pressure water supplies or older heating systems&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Cons:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They take up more space due to the water tanks, making installation more invasive too<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They don\u2019t give hot water on demand so you have to wait for them to warm up<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can run out of hot water if multiple people are using hot water in one go<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are less efficient than combi boilers as water can evaporate or be lost from tanks<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The main benefit of a heat only boiler is that they are more suitable for large properties and areas with lower water pressure.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">System Boilers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is A System Boiler?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">System boilers are like heat only boilers, but they don\u2019t require a cold water tank. They are closed vent systems that take water directly from the cold water mains to the boiler. All the pumps and expansion tanks are also internal, which makes them an upgrade from the space required by heat only boilers. If you are trying to decide on a heat only or system boiler, then it depends on the water pressure in your area.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do System Boilers Work?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">System boilers work like combi boilers in that they heat up water directly from the cold water supply. However, they store hot water in a separate tank for on-demand use, which means multiple bathrooms or units that require water can be serviced in one go. System boilers rely on good water pressure from the mains to function.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are The Pros And Cons Of System Boilers?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They do not require a cold water tank, making them easier to install than heat only boilers<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They take up less space than heat only boilers<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">System boilers can service multiple bathrooms or units at the same time<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can be more flexible with installation than with a heat only boiler<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Cons:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They still require an external hot water tank&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the water pressure is low the boiler won\u2019t work effectively<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their size may not make them suitable for smaller properties<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>System only boilers are great for larger properties with high water pressure. If you have lower pressure you might need to consider a heat only boiler. Their size makes them unsuitable for smaller properties.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Type Of Boiler Do I Need?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of boiler you need depends largely on the size of your home, the number of bathrooms you have, the age of your central heating system and the water pressure in your local area. As a general rule you may find:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a <\/span><b>combi boiler <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you have a smaller property with decent water pressure and a modern heating system. They are easier to install, take up less space and supply hot water on demand.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a <\/span><b>heat only boiler <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you have a larger property with multiple bathrooms, older heating systems, and a poor water supply. A heat only boiler doesn\u2019t rely on water pressure from the cold mains, so might be your best option if your local area has poor water pressure. If you have good water pressure and a larger property, you might consider a <\/span><b>system boiler<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a <\/span><b>system boiler <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if you have multiple bathrooms and decent water pressure. A system boiler is preferable to a heat only boiler as it requires less space to install. Unless you have issues with your water pressure, a system boiler might be the best option for a house with multiple bathrooms.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Boiler Installation With Lloyd\u2019s Gas<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lloyd\u2019s Gas are expert boiler installers, ensuring that your boiler operates at up to 98% efficiency.<\/strong> We\u2019re experienced in all boiler and property types, with decades of experience in boiler installation.
