What is a Combi Boiler?
A combi boiler is a type of gas boiler that operates as a single integrated unit, eliminating the need for a separate hot water tank in your house. They are incredibly efficient and may save you money on your energy costs as a result. They are not suitable for every house, so we’ve provided more information about combi boilers below to help you determine whether it’s the correct option to have one put in your home.
Why should you install a combi boiler?
Combi boilers heat water instantly, as soon as you need it, so there is no waiting! They are less expensive to install than other types of boilers since they do not require a tank or immersion heater. There is also no waste because combi boilers only heat as much water as you use rather than leaving it in a tank, which may save you money on your energy bill every month. They take up less space in your home than conventional boilers and save you space because there is no water tank, but they can only provide hot water to one source at a time, so you can’t shower while someone uses the hot water tap in the kitchen. As a result, they are inappropriate for households with more than one bathroom.
Is it worthwhile to install a combi boiler in a larger home?
The fact is that even the smallest combi boiler will heat the majority of bigger houses; nevertheless, it may not fulfil your hot water needs. The question is not which boiler is best for a larger home, but which boiler will satisfy my hot water needs. The largest combi boilers may provide up to 20 litres per minute of hot water flow rate if the incoming mains pressure allows it. The fact is that large combis with high hot water flow rates can inefficiently heat the system. The largest combi boilers can provide 25 litres of hot water per minute while requiring 50kW of input. Everything becomes larger and more expensive as a result: the boiler, the components, and the gas pipe.
Conclusion on combi boilers
Overall, combi boilers are appropriate for smaller homes with limited space. They can fit into smaller spaces, thanks to the lack of additional tanks that take up needless space and are an excellent choice for apartments or smaller homes with two bathrooms.
