Advantages and Disadvantages of Scottish Gas Combi Boilers

A combi, or combination, boiler is the most popular style of boiler you can get in the United Kingdom today. The combi boiler is an economical and energy saving boiler. It works by heating water for the radiators in your home at the same time as heating water for you to use from the taps. The heated water is available on demand – as soon as you turn on the tap the hot water is available. A combi boiler has advantages and disadvantages. If you are looking for a new Scottish gas boiler, consider whether a Scottish gas combi boiler will suit you. Combi boilers are popular but they are not for everyone. You may be better with a heat-only boiler, which also have their advantages and disadvantages.

There are many advantages of a combi boiler. One advantage that the whole family can benefit from is the unlimited supply of hot water. You can get hot water whenever you turn on the tap, whether you are washing up, doing the laundry or running a bath. You don’t need to worry about taking a long shower and using up all the hot water. This makes the boiler suitable for families. The combi boiler is suitable for families with a relatively low water use; the boiler is cheaper to run and more efficient for people that don’t use large amounts of water. The combi boiler is also good for people with little space for a boiler. The combi boiler doesn’t need a separate cold water tank so you can put the boiler into a smaller space, such as a cupboard. This is especially useful if you live in an apartment or small house. When you use a combi boiler you get drinkable water from every tap in the house because no cold water is left in a tank.

There are disadvantages to combi boilers. One disadvantage is that a combi boiler gives you pressured water through one hot tap at a time. If you run two taps at the same time, you won’t get a uniform flow across them both. This can be annoying for a person taking a shower when someone starts to do the washing up. You may also experience the water going cold when you flush the toilet, or use a lot of water from one tap at once. There is also a slight delay in getting hot water out of the tap – you need to wait a few seconds to get the correct temperature.
