Which Type of Boiler Do I have?
What type of boiler do you have? What type of system do you have? No idea…
Combination boiler:
A combi boiler is both a high-efficiency water heater and a central heating boiler, combined within one compact unit. Therefore, no separate hot water cylinder is required, offering space saving within the property.
System boiler:
A system boiler is a boiler that directly heats your central heating system and hot water for a storage cylinder, whether it’s an unvented, stainless steel cylinder or a traditional copper cylinder.
Unvented cylinder:
In an unvented system there is no cold water tank – instead the sealed hot water cylinder is fed directly by the cold water mains. Since they are operating at mains pressure, they offer much better flow rates, meaning your shower and bath performance should be higher.
Conventional/Regular boiler:
A typical regular boiler system incorporates a boiler, extended controls, a hot water cylinder which is often fed by a cold water storage cistern located in the loft and a feed and expansion cistern – also located in the loft.
