Condensing Boilers
Unlike a conventional
boiler, a condensing combi is a highly efficient, completely self-contained
central heating and hot water system.
All the major components are enclosed within an attractive, compact,
wall-mounted unit that blends in beautifully with modern kitchen
cupboards. A
condensing combi does not store hot water.
As well as being far more economical, this means that there is no hot water
cylinder, no tank in the loft (so less risk of freezing and flooding), and none
of the connecting pipework.
Result: valuable extra space you can use for other purposes.
A condensing combi heats water directly from the
cold mains whenever you turn on a hot water tap. This not only means that hot
water is delivered on demand, but also at mains pressure, giving all the
benefits of high-power showering without the need for a separate pump.
The average shower uses considerably less water than taking a bath, so the
savings on hot water costs and water
consumption can be very significant, particularly over a long period.
Also available are
condensing boilers compatable with hot water cylinders, unvented cylinders and
motorised valves, as a sealed system.
