Not all boilers are the same

There isn't a one-size fits all boiler for everyone - it depends on the type of home you live in and your hot water needs. We install a wide range of Ideal and Worcester Bosch boilers but they come in three different types - combi, system and regular.

Combi boilers

Great for smaller homes as they can fit in a cupboard and you don’t need a hot water cylinder or cold water storage tank, so they don't take up any loft space either.

Regular boilers

If there are several people living in your household and you often use hot water at the same time, consider a regular boiler. They're linked to a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank, and are great in areas with low water pressure.

Designed for homes with more than one bathroom, system boilers give you a constant supply of hot water to multiple taps. There’s no need for the tank in the loft either.
