New Combi Gas Central Heating Boiler Replacement Installation Cost In Manchester, Denton & Stockport

Gas Boiler Replacement With Combi or Combination Boilers

If your existing central heating boiler has broken down or is more than 12 years old, perhaps you should consider getting a gas boiler replacement.

A combination central heating boiler or “combi” for short, provides highly efficient water heating and a central heating boiler within one compact arrangement. Their popularity is such that “combi boilers” account for well over 50% of all new boilers installed in the UK every year for domestic use.

The reason combi boilers are so cost effective is down to their energy efficiency. You see, when you turn on a hot water tap, water is heated directly from the mains supply. This means that you only use energy to heat up the amount of water that you need at a particular point in time.

Economical Combi Boiler Installation In Manchester, Stockport & Denton

With conventional types of gas boilers and electric immersion heaters, water is being heated and stored, whether it’s being used or not.

Older conventional domestic systems typically have a “heat only” boiler, a hot water tank often located in an airing cupboard and by 2 cold water tanks situated in the loft.

Typically “heat only” boilers heat up water twice a day in the morning and evening. If the heated water is not used and it goes cold, then the energy consumed to heat it is wasted.

A combi boiler only produces heat when it is needed. When the hot water is turned on, the boiler fires up and heats the water in the hot water pipes. And because there is no need to store water before it is used, the system is much more efficient and boiler installation cost is lower.

The latest combi boilers have an energy efficiency rating of 90% and above compared with an old standard efficiency boiler which wastes 30% of the heat it generates. That’s because combi boilers utilise the heat in waste flue gas to pre-heat water before it goes into the boiler. Combi boilers also deliver hot water at mains pressure which can give you a powerful shower without an additional pump. This might be a welcome bonus if you currently have an electric shower.

Combi boiler installation time and costs are lower with combi boilers because there is no tank in the roof space which requires less pipe work. And with no tank in the loft, the risk of pipe work freezing is removed and the loft can be converted into another living space if required.
