Welcome to Hometree, home of the stress-free
boiler installation.
00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:07.620
What is a condensing boiler?
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:14.710
If you purchased a boiler after 2005, chances
are that it is a condensing boiler, a high-efficiency
00:00:14.710 --> 00:00:15.760
boiler.
00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:21.280
Rather than being a ‘type’ of boiler - such
as combi boiler, system boiler or conventional
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:26.080
boiler - the term ‘condensing’ refers
to the way it functions.
00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.250
There are three main types of the gas boiler
- Combination (or combi), System and Regular.
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:37.370
If you are unsure about the type of boiler
you currently have, these two simple questions
00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:38.370
will help
00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:39.370
1.
00:00:39.370 --> 00:00:41.859
Do you have a hot water cylinder? (this is
usually in a cupboard or airing cupboard)
00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:46.921
No - You have a Combi Boiler
Yes - You have a Regular or System Boiler
00:00:46.921 --> 00:00:47.920
2.
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.040
On the Boiler, Is there a pressure gauge?
00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:55.740
No - You have a Regular Boiler
Yes - You have a System Boiler
00:00:55.749 --> 00:00:59.719
Boilers can be confusing, especially when
you are looking for a new boiler.
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.379
When you know a little about the boiler types
- discovering the right replacement gas boiler
00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:05.890
for your home can be easy.
00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:09.210
COMBI BOILER
A Combination boiler is a simple unit that
00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:14.380
delivers both hot water and heating, which
makes them great for small to medium-sized
00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:15.890
homes.
00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:20.430
Combi boilers heat water directly from the
mains, whenever you turn on your hot tap.
00:01:20.430 --> 00:01:25.580
If you are buying a new combi boiler, you
don't need a hot water storage cylinder or
00:01:25.580 --> 00:01:29.899
a cold water storage tank in the loft, so
they save space too.
00:01:29.899 --> 00:01:31.310
SYSTEM BOILER
Unlike gas combi boilers, a system boiler
00:01:31.310 --> 00:01:37.899
need a cylinder for storing hot water, but
they don't take up space in your loft.
00:01:37.899 --> 00:01:43.109
With a system boiler, some of the main heating
and hot water system components such as the
00:01:43.109 --> 00:01:48.289
pump are built into the boiler itself, so
it's quick and easy to install.
00:01:48.289 --> 00:01:53.240
A System boiler is ideal for homes with two
or more bathrooms as it can allow you to have
00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:56.520
multiple showers running at the same time.
00:01:56.520 --> 00:01:58.880
A CONVENTIONAL BOILER OR REGULAR BOILER
A Conventional boiler, also called regular,
00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:04.049
open vent or traditional boilers, need both
a hot water cylinder and a tank in the loft
00:02:04.049 --> 00:02:05.220
to store cold water.
00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:10.450
This type of boiler is perfect for homes where
a lot of hot water is used at the same time
00:02:10.450 --> 00:02:15.760
and are particularly well suited to low water
pressure areas and installing into systems
00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.980
which have lots of old radiators. Just by answering a few questions on our website,
