How to Choose a New Boiler July 29, 2024 We understand the importance of a reliable and efficient boiler system in keeping your home warm and comfortable throughout the year. But with so many boiler options available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Don't worry, we're here to help! This guide will equip you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about your new boiler. Where to start when it comes to a new boiler Before diving into specific boiler types, it's crucial to assess your individual requirements. Here are some key factors to consider: Property Size The size of your home is a major determinant of the boiler's output capacity. A larger property requires a more powerful boiler to adequately heat the whole space. Hot Water Usage Do you have a large family with high hot water demands? Or perhaps you live alone with minimal hot water usage. Understanding your hot water consumption will help determine if you need a combi boiler (providing both heating and hot water) or a system boiler (separate heating and hot water systems). Energy Efficiency Choosing an energy-efficient boiler can significantly reduce your energy bills and contribute to a greener environment. Look for boilers with a high ErP (Energy-related Products) rating, ideally A-rated or higher. Budget Boiler prices can vary depending on the type, brand, and features. Set a realistic budget for your new boiler and consider any potential installation costs. Types of Boiler Now that you have a clearer picture of your needs, let's explore the different boiler types available: Combi Boilers These are the most popular choice for smaller homes with limited space. Combi boilers provide both heating and hot water on demand, eliminating the need for a separate hot water cylinder. They are compact, efficient, and relatively simple to install. System Boilers These boilers are ideal for larger homes with high hot water demands. They work in conjunction with a hot water cylinder, storing hot water for immediate use. System boilers offer greater hot water availability compared to combi boilers. Regular Boilers Also known as traditional boilers, these require a separate hot water cylinder and cold water storage tank. Though not as space-efficient as combi boilers, they offer excellent hot water availability and can be a good choice for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.
