At TSL Heating & Plumbing, we understand that many homeowners are interested in learning more about how their heating systems work. If you’re considering installing a new gas boiler in your home, you may be wondering: how does a gas boiler work?
A gas boiler is a heating system that uses natural gas or propane to heat water, which is then distributed throughout your home via pipes and radiators. When the water is heated, it expands and rises to the top of the radiator, where it releases its heat. The cooled water then sinks to the bottom of the radiator and is returned to the boiler to be heated again.
There are several different types of gas boilers, including combi boilers, system boilers, and conventional boilers. Combi boilers are the most popular choice for small to medium-sized homes, as they provide both heating and hot water on demand. System boilers are suitable for larger homes and can provide heating and hot water for multiple taps at the same time. Conventional boilers are typically used in larger homes with multiple bathrooms and are connected to a hot water tank and cold-water cistern.
To understand how a gas boiler works, it’s important to understand the components that make up the system. A gas boiler consists of a burn chamber, a heat exchanger, a flue, and a control system. The burn chamber uses a gas burner to heat the water in the heat exchanger. The flue is a pipe that allows the gas fumes to be released outside, while the control system regulates the temperature and operation of the boiler.
