How will I know if this Boiler is Suitable for My Home?

Combi boilers take water directly from the mains and don’t require tanks in the loft or a hot water storage cylinder, making them a popular choice in UK homes. Any expert will tell you that a combi boiler will struggle to keep up with high hot water demands, but they are still a suitable option for homes with more than one bathroom, provided you select the correct boiler size. 

If you’re unsure whether a combi boiler, like the Vokera evolve C, is ideal for your home, you should get the unbiased opinion of a Gas Safe registered engineer. In addition to helping you pick the best boiler type for your home, your engineer can advise you on the correct boiler size to suit your needs.
