Choosing The Right Boiler For Your Wigan Home – Combi Boiler

Combination boilers, or “combi boilers” as they are often called, heat your water instantly whenever you turn on one of the hot taps. As the water is fed directly from the mains, there is no need for a separate hot water storage cylinder or water tank in the loft. The water flow rates are usually excellent.

Is a Combi Boiler suitable for my Wigan Home?

A combi boiler is an economical choice for most households, and they are the most popular type of boiler in the UK.

Choosing The Right Boiler For Your Wigan Home – Heat only boiler

These are sometimes known as ‘regular’ or ‘conventional’ boilers. This type of boiler is found more often in older homes. It needs a feed and expansion tank in the loft which stores a supply of cold water. It also requires a hot water storage cylinder and pump, to move hot water around the house.

Is a Heat Only Boiler suitable for my Wigan Home?

A heat only boiler is a popular choice when replacing older heating systems, and they are perfect for larger properties with a big demand for hot water boiler.

A system boiler works with a hot water storage cylinder but does not also need the tank in the loft.

Is a System Boiler suitable for my Wigan Home?

System boilers are quick and simple to install because all of the major components are built into the boiler.
