Boilers are just like many pieces of equipment, you know that at some point in their life there will be a need to retire it and replace with a brand new model. The chances are that technology will have improved greatly since you had it installed. Now if you do intend to fit or have fitted a new unit, there are things to consider, like which will suit my needs. You should think about the space that it will take up in your home. Boilers can come with some plumbing items of different shapes and sizes, such as, extensive pipework, cylinders, and radiators. Compare energy efficiency information for various types of boilers. Servicing and maintenance costs are important. A boiler fit must be carried out by a registered engineer. A boiler can if required, operate on different fuels which include oil, gas, low pressure gas, solid fuel and of course electricity. Battersea Plumbers are skilled tradesmen and qualified to carry out boiler installations.Combination.The combi as it is known is a central heating boiler and also a multi point type of water heater combined. Supplying hot water from the cold water mains supply on instantly all around the house. It is not fitted with a cylinder or tank, so it is a great space saver.Conventional. Conventional boilers works with what is called a heat exchanger to produce its hot water. It operates in a very similar way to a cooker ring heating a kettle of water. Most work with fully pumped open vented systems, with a small amount, working with gravity hot water systems. A Battersea Plumber can service this type of system.Back.This type of boiler is a fossil compared to the modern boilers available. You will probably not come across this now except in older properties. It sat directly behind a gas fire and is yet another type of the heat exchange system. Condensing.Constructed so that the water which returned from the heating system cooled the flue gases. It is called a “high efficiency boiler” and works best in a system with lower water temperatures and is very efficient. Available for use with fuels like, gas, LPG or oil. A Combi-condensing boiler is also available.
