Save storage space with a combination heating boiler
If you are about to set up a new gas boiler you should study a combination gas boiler if you have a shortage of room. It is possible to put in a full central heating and hot water system by purchasing only a gas powered combi gas boiler with a balanced flue. With the addition of copper pipes to transfer the hot water to the radiators to warm your house you will be complete. You might ask whether we had missed some parts out of this statement. What about the central heating pump, the hot water storage cylinder and the feed and enlargement tank.
The response to your queries would be that with a regular combination heating boiler you do require these pieces. The hot water storage tank can be excluded from your system, the feed and expansion tank can be left out of the attic, the other small-scale pieces we have named are in reality built into the combination boiler. The result is that a lot of storage space is saved inside your household.
Combi gas boilers are not a new heating boiler design. Whilst they were first fitted in Europe they are now a very popular heating boiler for installation in the UK. By comparison with traditional gas boilers you will see that there are two main deviations. The central heating hot water circulation system is sealed. This means that there is no requirement for a feed and expansion cylinder in the loft. Supplemental storage space is saved by the boiler incorporating its own hot water storage cylinder removing the requirement for the hot water storage cylinder.
Hot water is only produced as it is needed, this is signalled when you turn on a tap. And cost-efficient internal heat exchanger enables the boiler to rapidly heat and cold water. Hot water in the central heating system is used to immediately heat the heat exchanger. Fresh cold water from the outside mains passes through this heat exchanger where it is heated before it reaches the hot water tap.
Hot water supply to the radiators is a lesser priority than the output of instantaneous hot water for the home. When the tap is closed again the central heating water is returned to its normal circuit.
So in summary and combi boiler can save you a considerable amount of storage space in your dwelling house.
