A combination boiler water heater, also known as a combi boiler, is a type of heating system that combines the functions of a water heater and a central heating boiler in one compact unit. Unlike traditional heating systems that require a separate hot water tank, combi boilers heat water on demand, providing hot water for taps and showers as well as heat for the home.
One of the main advantages of a combi boiler is its space-saving design. Without the need for a separate hot water tank, combi boilers can be installed in small spaces, making them ideal for apartments and smaller homes.
Another benefit of a combi boiler is its energy efficiency. Since they only heat water on demand, combi boilers can be more efficient than traditional heating systems that keep a large tank of water heated at all times. This can lead to lower energy bills over time and a reduced carbon footprint.
However, combi boilers may not be suitable for homes with high hot water demand or multiple bathrooms, as they may struggle to supply hot water to multiple outlets at once. Additionally, they may require more frequent maintenance than traditional heating systems to ensure optimal performance and safety.
