Combi boiler space saving benefits

Combi boiler space saving benefits

If you have a petite house a combination heating boiler offers space saving chances to you. You only need a combination heating boiler and balanced flue to put in a full central heating system without any other pieces. All that is additionally required to heat your home is some copper pipes and a number of radiators. You could be surprised by this and ask whether we had forgotten about some component parts. Isn’t it true that most systems seem to need a feed and expansion tank in the loft, a water pump to move the hot water around and a storage cylinder to keep hot water when not needed.

These parts are not called for by a contemporary combination gas boiler. With a combination you can dispense with the hot water storage cylinder, there is no call for for an attic based feed and enlargement cylinder, the combination gas boiler case also has space to contain the other parts mentioned. The effect is that a lot of room is saved inside your home.

Combi gas boilers have been installed for a while. Whilst they were first fitted in Europe they are now a very popular boiler for installation in the UK. By comparing with traditional gas boilers you will see that there are two major deviations. On the central heating side you still have a fully pumped system but all the heated water which circles around is sealed in. The feed and enlargement cylinder intended for the attic can now be dispensed with. A second advantage is getting rid of the need for the hot water storage cylinder as the gas boiler stocks its own hot water.

Domestic hot water is developed as required, the gas boiler is aware of this when you turn on a hot water valve. The hot water is produced by the use of a highly cost-efficient integral heat exchanger. Hot water circulating in the heating system is diverted to the heat exchanger. On the other side of the heat exchanger cold mains water is heated before finishing its journey to the hot water tap.

Automated priority is rendered to the demand for hot water over water being supplied to the radiators to heat the house. The instant the tap is closed the combination boiler will return to furnishing hot water to the radiators.

It is feasible to set up a new gas boiler in a small apartment and not require a large amount of space.
