Deciding which type of boiler to install can be a difficult decision, especially if you are new to this kind of thing.
Condensing boilers vs Combi Boilers
Condensing boilers and combi boilers both have their own pros and cons, which means that some people prefer one boiler over another, depending on the needs of your household or building. We’ll take a look at each type of boiler below to see which one is best for you!
Condensing boilers
One main thing that sets condensing boilers apart from combi boilers is how they are run. Condensing boilers have a higher efficiency rating than standard types, meaning that the energy used by your new boiler will be significantly less. This is because condensing boilers run on what’s known as a ‘heat recovery system,’ which recovers the heat from the boiler exhaust gases and uses it to pre-heat water before pumping it into your heating system, saving you money in energy as well as keeping your home warm.
Combi boilers
The main difference between condensing boilers and combi boilers is how much space they take up in your property. Condensing boiler systems are larger than standard types, which means that there may be issues with where you want to put them in the building – whereas a combi boiler system can easily fit into an airing cupboard or loft space, meaning it’s a lot more versatile and suitable for smaller properties.
Combi boilers don’t need as much ventilation as condensing boilers either; they also heat up water faster than standard types thanks to their high flow rate of hot water, which is pumped through your central heating system at the click of a button – handy if you have a family to keep warm!
In conclusion, if you’re not sure which boiler is right for your property, don’t worry! Condensing boilers and combi boilers are both great choices depending on the space available to you.
