An Overview on Pros of Combi Boilers

A combination or combi gas boiler makes use of the hot water cylinder for supplying the water only when the tap is turned on directly from the main supply. The main advantage of using a combi gas boiler is that it saves space. Since it does not require a cylinder it saves up the space what cylinder occupies.

These systems are also referred to as highly efficient condensing variety. As discussed above this type of boiler eliminates the necessity to accumulate water in a tank or cylinder making the hot water inside the airing cupboard needless. The name combi boilers are given to them because it not only works efficiently as a water warmer but also doubles as a central warming element hence the name.

Advantage of Combi Boiler

• Consumers choose this type of system because this protects the sudden change in the temperature of water due to the thermostat controls. The majority of them are equipped with these systems and they come as a standard fitting. The second reason is if the space is a constraint and another boiler cannot be installed on the roof or in the loft then one can go for the mixed variety. The final reason if a consumer is upgrading from an older boiler to a newer one than the combo boiler is definitely the choice to go simples because it's very efficient. Besides it will not be comfortable to wait for hot water in all the taps simultaneously in the house the combination boiler heats water when it is needed and provides simultaneous and uninterrupted supply of water.
• Let us see what the main advantages of using the combination boiler are. Generally the combi boiler is usually a small compact unit which is situated in the kitchen or in the utility area of the home. There is also no need for the system to store the hot water as this saves the space in the home. All the heating components are built into the combination system itself so the space can be used for other needs. The other main advantage of using this type of boiler is the running cost of them is very economical and the consumer can get hot water simultaneously from all the taps directly from the main supply. So the pressure of water is high when compared to other equipment. There are also no tanks that are installed on the roofs or in the loft and the pipe work required for installation is very minimal. This indicates that the installation is quicker and cheaper which reduces the initial costs.
• There is just one shortcoming in using a combi system and that is it requires sufficient cold water for the hot water which is needed on demand. What this means is that depending upon the power of such system and the simultaneous usage of many taps the water pressure may vary. So if there is water supply in the mains is not enough there will be a sudden drop in pressure resulting in a reduced water flow.

In many ways the advantages of the mixed boilers cannot be overlooked as it is one of the widely used types of boilers in the country.
