Which Scottish Gas Boiler is Right for Me?

Choosing the right boiler for your home is a difficult task. The cost of a new boiler is relatively high, and you will hopefully have it with you for many years, so you want to make the right choice. But how do you decide which Scottish gas boiler to buy? What should you look for in a new Scottish gas boiler? There are a number of different types of boiler to choose from. Here we explain a few so you have a better idea of how to make your choice.

Combi boilers, also known as combination boilers, are a very popular type of boiler and they are suitable for small homes and apartments. A combi boiler is small and compact so it can fit into a cupboard. The combi boiler heats the water straight from the mains supply, so you have hot water available immediately and don’t need to wait for it to warm up. These boilers tend to be more efficient as you don’t have to heat the water in the tank first, and you also don’t reheat water that has gone cold. However, when you have a combi boiler your shower will be interrupted whenever someone else in the house turns on the hot tap. Combi boilers are good for small houses and good for people who don’t have a high water spend. They are great for people with little space.

A sealed system boiler is a tank for storing hot water. You need a bigger space for this kind of boiler, for example an airing cupboard. With this kind of boiler you don’t experience the water running cold when someone turns on a tap in another room. Sealed system boilers offer good water pressure and they are a good choice for bigger houses or larger families that have higher hot water requirements. An open vent or open vent sealed system boiler has two water tanks, one of which is in the attic. The hot water storage is handled by a tank in a cupboard. This type of system uses a lot of space, but it gives hot water to a variety of taps at the same time. You may need to wait for the water to heat if you use a lot. This boiler system is still very popular in peoples’ homes.

A back boiler is a relatively old type of boiler, where the boiler is hidden behind a chimney.
