Regain space with a combi gas boiler

Combination boiler systems offer many room saving and energy economy advantages for the petite household. It is possible to set up a complete central heating and hot water system by buying only a gas powered combination heating boiler with a balanced flue. All that is additionally required to heat your home is some copper pipe and some radiators. You might ask whether we had missed some pieces out of this statement. Central heating systems seem to require a hot water cylinder to store water, a feed and enlargement tank in the loft and a water pump to move everything around.

Surprisingly a combi heating boiler does not require any of these component parts. You do not need to purchase a hot water storage cylinder, the feed and expansion tank can be left out of the attic, the combi heating boiler casing also has room to incorporate the other component parts mentioned. As a result you can save a substantial amount of room in your home.

Combination boilers have been installed for a while. Whilst they were first installed in Europe they are now a very popular gas boiler for installation in the United Kingdom. It is has two major divergences with the system and regular type of heating boilers. The first point to spotlight is that the circulating hot water for the central heating is within a fully sealed system. Having no open vents there is no requirement for a feed and expansion cylinder in the attic. Inclusion of a hot water storage cylinder within the gas boiler also removes any need for the hot water storage cylinder.

As hot water is needed it is produced instantly by the boiler, switching on a hot water tap will signal the need to the heating boiler. Cold water is quickly heated up by the use of an cost-efficient heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is heated by diverting circulating hot water from the central heating system. In this way brand-new mains cold water is rapidly heated before reaching the hot water valve.

Automatic priority is given to the requirement for hot water over water being supplied to the radiators to heat up the household. Once the tap is shut and the need for hot water is eliminated the system will return to supplying hot water to the radiators.

It is possible to fit a new heating boiler in a petite flat and not need a great amount of storage space.
