There are five main different types of domestic boilers:
Back Boilers Prices
Although no longer the first choice for customers in the market for a new boiler, some homes do still have a back boiler.
Combi Boilers Prices
Combi boilers are the UK’s most popular type of boiler, representing around 70% of new boiler purchases.
Condensing Boilers
All new boilers installed in the UK must now be condensing boilers. Choose from various different types of boiler when looking for the right condensing boiler from a top brand.
LPG Gas Boilers
LPG boilers need the fuel (LPG) has to be delivered to your home and stored in a tank.
System Boilers
System boilers, a middle ground between combi boilers and regular high efficiency condensing boilers, are “heat only” boilers that use a copper cylinder to store your hot water.
Heat Only Boilers
Heat only boilers are a traditional domestic boiler type, and can be found in most British homes built before 1970.
Electric Boilers
An electric boiler uses electricity rather than gas or oil to provide your home with heating and hot water.
Oil Fired Boilers
Oil-fired boilers work in a very similar way to gas-powered boilers but they use oil to heat your water.
Choosing the right boiler for your home requires some thought. For instance, what are your home heating and hot water requirements? Do you have one or more bathrooms? Have you an existing back boiler? It is therefore advisable to get help from an expert to help you make the right choice. Once you have understood your requirements, you will need to find an installer.
