Combi boilers come into their own in the smaller
family home
Industry experts have long since confirmed that the Combi style of boilers have become the most cost-efficient method of heating a small to medium sized UK family home as well as providing reasonable quantities of hot water all year round. The condensing heating boiler methods that Combi boilers employs are both highly cost-efficient as well as being able to heat up water more or less on demand. Factors that combine to make Combi boilers highly popular in today's energy conscious climate.
However a combination heating boiler may not suit everyone and every UK family who is considering installing a boiler or upgrading an existing heating and/or central heating system should take all the necessary steps to ensure that their particular domestic settings will lend themselves to a combi boiler. To begin with, installing a combi boiler, or any other kind of boiler for that matter, requires, will require the home owner to comply with all the current building rules and regulations. It goes without saying that consultations with a heating surveyor is a must, and British Gas, as the leading supplier of heating equipment and services in the UK will be able to provide professional and objective advice on whether your particular application will best be suited to installing a combi boiler, as well as whether a non-condensing boiler will better suit you needs and for what reasons.
One of the most important considerations that must be taken when deciding to install a Combi boiler is that there needs to be a fairly modern flue installed that will allow the exhaust fumes from the boiler to be readily expunged. The reason is that the gases emitted buy a combi boiler are generally heavier than standard boilers because they usually condense very quickly. The up side of this is that the gases also disperse very quickly and are a lot friendlier to the environment.
While the chances are that an existing flue will do the job, the chance still exists that upgrades may need to the flue, taking into account that any outlets for a condensing heating boiler must not be shared with any other appliance that is non-condensing.
In other words installing a combi boiler is not a walk in the park and informed decisions have to be made to avoid complications. That's why before pen is put to paper a consultation with your local British Gas heating specialist is a must.
