Buying a new gas boiler can be difficult if you don’t know a lot about the different types of boilers available. Different kinds of Scottish gas boilers are suitable for different homes and purposes. Which Scottish gas boiler is best for you? Most of the boilers you can buy new today are condensing boilers. These condensing boilers are much better for the environment as they are more energy efficient than the traditional kind of boiler. Condensing boilers re-use the heat that traditional boilers would have wasted, using it to heat water and making the whole process more efficient. Within the energy efficient condensing boiler category are different styles of boiler. These include combi boilers (or combination boilers); system heat-only boilers and open vent heat-only boilers.
Combi boilers are the most popular boilers in the United Kingdom. This type of boiler provides heat for your water and for your radiators – heating the house and the water at the same time. This boiler is called a combi boiler because it combines many different functions in one small space – boiler, hot water heater and cold water storage. A combi boiler usually takes the cold water from your water supply and it heats the water. This means hot water is always available if you turn on the tap. These boilers are popular because they are convenient and because they are compact. You don’t need a lot of space to install a combi boiler. You also have hot water on demand. The disadvantage of this boiler is you can’t turn on more than one hot tap at a time without limiting the flow of water.
Heat-only boilers have traditionally been used in UK homes. These boilers heat radiators as well as heat water but the water is stored in a different cylinder. You will need more space for this boiler because there is the need for a separate cylinder. However, you can use more than one hot tap at once without the flow of water being affected. For this reason, heat-only boilers are often used in larger houses. This boiler does lose heat and it does waste energy. Many people try to trap the wasted heat by placing the boiler in an airing cupboard. One other disadvantage is the size of the cylinder limits the amount of hot water you can use. If you use it all, you need to wait for the water to heat up again.
