Is a system boiler right for you?
Combi boilers? System boilers? Regular boilers?! If you’re scratching your head over which boiler type will suit your home, we’re here to help. In this guide, we’ll be taking a closer look at system boilers. Unlike combi boilers, a central heating system with a system boiler installed includes a hot water cylinder for water storage. Combi boilers are mains-fed, which means that there isn’t a need for a tank or cylinder to be installed (as long as you have sufficient mains water pressure). Regular boilers (also known as heat only or conventional) also require a cylinder, with the addition of a loft-installed water tank. System boilers are an excellent choice for larger households with busy families, while also improving your home’s energy efficiency.

Unlike combi boilers, a conventional boiler requires a hot water cylinder, with the addition of a loft-installed cold water tank. Regular boilers are quite common in homes with older central heating systems installed, hence also being called traditional.
