A boiler is a heating system that utilizes water or steam to generate warmth. It functions by heating water through a fuel source, typically natural gas, oil, or electricity, and then circulating the heated water or steam through pipes or radiators. Boilers are essential for providing warmth and hot water in residential homes and commercial buildings.
What Does A Boiler Do?
Different Types of Boilers
Combi Boilers
Combine the functions of a central heating boiler and a water heater in one unit, offering hot water on demand without the need for a separate cylinder.
Condensing Boilers
Energy Efficiency: Offers industry-leading energy performance with up to 95% AFUE compared to conventional boilers.
Energy Star Certification: Ensures high energy efficiency standards, certified by Energy Star.
Ease of Use: Intuitive and user-friendly controls enhance usability.
Longer Lifespan: Provides a longer lifespan compared to traditional floor-standing boilers.
Space Efficiency: Occupies approximately 80% less space than conventional floor-standing boilers.
Property Value Enhancement: Enhances property resale value due to its advanced energy-efficient features.
Versatile Application: Suited for both replacement installations and new construction projects.
Conventional Boilers
Traditional Heating: Provides reliable heating using a traditional combustion process.
Cost Consideration: Typically less expensive upfront compared to condensing boilers.
Suitability for Older Homes: Suitable for systems where the flue gas can't be routed to the exterior, which is common in older homes.
Efficiency Comparison: Generally operates at lower efficiency compared to condensing models.
Space Requirement: Tends to require more space due to the need for a larger storage tank and the nature of its design.
Compliance and Standards: Might not meet the latest energy efficiency standards compared to condensing boilers.
