Which Boiler Types Right For You?

The three main boiler types are designed for different household needs. A combi boiler provides heating and hot water instantly, with no need for tanks. A system boiler uses a hot water cylinder but doesn't require a loft tank. A regular boiler (or conventional boiler) needs both a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank, making it ideal for larger or older homes.

For smaller properties, a combi boiler is usually the best choice. This space saving option heats water on demand and doesn’t need external tanks, making it the most convenient of the common boiler types for compact homes.

If you have multiple bathrooms, a system boiler is often the most suitable. This type of boiler stores hot water in a cylinder, providing a steady supply to more than one outlet at once ideal for busy households.
