Central Heating

Central heating systems provide warmth to the whole interior of a building (or section of a building) from one point to other rooms in the home. There are various types of central heating systems available such as wet systems, warm air system and storage heaters.

Modern combi boiler systems

Central heating ‘wet systems’ circulate hot water through a system of pipes that connect with radiators throughout the home. At the heart of the central heating system a boiler burns a fuel that disperses hot water through the network of pipes. These types of systems are the most popular variant of central heating systems in the UK. Pipework may sometimes be also connected to a hot water tank, which provides a supply of hot water to taps.

What kind of fuel do central heating systems burn?

Commonly the most widely used fuel in central heating systems is natural gas, although some central heating systems use heating oil or LPG (liquid petroleum gas) or even coal pellets. Electric boilers are also available.

Are combi boiler systems more efficient?

Energy efficent central heating system

Modern gas combi boiler central heating systems must have an energy efficiency rating of A or B and generally use a condensing technology to achieve these results. If your boiler and central heating system is older than fifteen years old it may be worth considering a upgrade to a modern combi boiler central heating system due to the benefits in energy saving and consumption.

Combi boiler systems provide instant hot water, and take up less room as there is no requirement for a hot water tank to be installed in the premises, like there is with a conventional boiler system.
