Combination heating boiler advantages

If you have a space problem in your home you should look at fitting a combi heating boiler. It is possible to put in a complete central heating and hot water system by buying only a gas powered combi boiler with a balanced flue. Add in radiators and copper pipe and you are then able to warm your home. You might ask whether we had lost some parts out of this statement. The hot water storage cylinder, the feed and expansion cylinder commonly put in the loft, the central heating pump and other component pieces that central heating and hot water systems seem to need.

The response to your questions would be that with a regular combi gas boiler you do need these pieces. With a combination you can dispense with the hot water storage tank, there is no call for for an loft based feed and enlargement tank, and the other tiny component parts are already built into the gas boiler. So you can see with a combination boiler you can save a substantial amount of space within your dwelling house.

Whilst you might think all this is new actually combination gas boilers have been put in for some years. Whilst they were first fitted in the Continent they are now a very popular boiler for fitting in the United Kingdom. By comparing with orthodox heating boilers you will see that there are two main differences. The first point to spotlight is that the circulating hot water for the central heating is within a fully sealed system. This means that there is no need for a feed and enlargement tank in the loft. The hot water storage cylinder can also be given up as the gas boiler will have its own hot water storage cylinder.

Domestic hot water is produced as required, turning on a hot water tap will signal the need to the boiler. And efficient internal heat exchanger enables the heating boiler to rapidly heat and cold water. Hot water in the central heating system is used to instantly heat the heat exchanger. In this way fresh mains cold water is rapidly heated before reaching the hot water valve.

The gas boiler design gives priority to producing instantaneous hot water. When the tap is shut again the central heating water is returned to its regular circuit.

If you do have a storage space issue in your home you should give great thought to installing a combination gas boiler when you next replace your heating boiler.
