Purchasing a new boiler is a considerable investment. Before you part with your hard-earned money, our advice is to always do your research. It is important to ensure that whichever system you choose is suitable for your property and requirements. There are several different types of boilers on the market, each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, meaning that not all of them may be suitable. This article will explore the benefits of installing a combi-boiler and the reasons why this type of boiler may be the best choice for you. Our knowledgeable Ipswich plumbers will also share their recommended combi-boiler(s), most of which are from our trusted supplier Ideal Boilers.
What is a combi-boiler?
Combination boilers, or a ‘combi-boiler’ for short, are a more modern boiler design in comparison to the traditional choices. Unlike older boilers, a combi-boiler does not require the integration of a storage tank to store your hot water. Instead, with this type of boiler, the water is heated as and when it is needed. Not needing a hot water storage tank is perfect for smaller properties where space is an issue. Combination boilers are sleek and small and can usually be tucked away out of sight in a corner or a cupboard.
Installing a combination boiler ensures that you will never again experience the horror of a cold shower, this can be an absolute nightmare in the winter months! The water is heated on the fly and as a result, you never have to wait for it to warm up – the water is instantly hot. Also, given that your water is coming directly from the supply, you will always have high pressure to your taps and appliances. There are many reasons why choosing a combination boiler may be best suited to your property. However, did you know that there are also different types of models and brands to choose between?
