Boiler Replacement For The Same Type

When it comes to a Boiler Replacement in Rochdale Plumbing Services, our most common task involves swapping out old combi boilers for new ones. Combi boilers are widely requested and the predominant boiler type in such scenarios.

The advantage here is that you typically know the size of boiler needed, gas availability, and pipe sizes. Your main decision revolves around choosing the make, model, and warranty length of the new boiler.

Some customers prefer the latest Worcester-Bosch model for its reputable name and excellent manufacturer's warranty. Others prioritize price and opt for well-regarded brands like Ideal, Vaillant, or Potterton, as long as the model offers a good warranty.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer here; it's about being guided to make the right choice for your needs. Most modern Combi Boilers are condensing boilers, boasting a 90% rating on the SEB Scale, which means they maximize fuel reuse .

Replacing an old-style boiler with a new one, regardless of the make, is bound to be more efficient, leading to savings on your energy bills.

Boiler Replacement For A Different Type

Occasionally, we encounter properties with extensions, converted lofts, or attics, leading to changes in water usage. For instance, what was once suitable for a 30Kw Combi Boiler may now require a Traditional Boiler to meet the expanded household's demands.

In such cases, it's crucial to consult with your boiler engineer to select the appropriate boiler type and size according to the property's requirements.

Getting The Right Size Boiler Replaced

At times, we encounter situations where the wrong boiler has been installed in a property initially. It might be undersized, resulting in insufficient heat and flow rate for the household's needs. This can lead to decreased water flow and temperature drop when another water source is in use.

This issue becomes apparent, particularly in scenarios like taking a shower while someone else turns on the hot tap in the kitchen to wash dishes. With an undersized boiler, you'll likely experience a drop in pressure and water temperature in the shower as the boiler struggles to heat two water sources simultaneously.

To address this, it's essential to seek advice from your local heating engineer regarding the appropriate boiler size to efficiently meet your property's needs. For instance, installing a 40Kw boiler for a one-bedroom flat would be excessive and costly. Conversely, opting for a 25Kw boiler in a five-bedroom house won't provide sufficient hot water, leading to constant boiler strain and wasted money.

Thus, ensuring the correct sizing of your boiler replacement is crucial, and consulting your boiler engineer for guidance on the most suitable boiler is recommended.

Different Types Of Boilers

Combi Boiler

System Boiler

Standard Boiler

Combi Boiler

Combination boilers (combi boilers) offer heating and hot water without the need for a hot water storage tank. Ideal for smaller homes with limited space, they require a continuous flow of water to function efficiently due to their lack of storage tank.

Combi boilers are an excellent choice for smaller areas. They offer similar benefits to system boilers but require much less space, and most are highly efficient. Although combi boilers may have lower output, they consume less energy.

Keep in mind that combi boilers drastically reduce space requirements. Despite their somewhat lower output, combi boilers offer great convenience.

The "combi" aspect of these boilers means you get two appliances in one unit, saving space and making repairs easier. While they may have slightly lower power, they are generally sufficient for most homes, particularly in apartments or single-story residences.

System Boilers

System boilers are integrated into your central heating system and utilize a water storage system, drawing water directly from the mains instead of relying on a feed tank. They offer great flexibility, capable of heating multiple rooms and supplying multiple bathrooms without affecting the temperature of your heating system.

If you prefer conventional boilers and want to avoid unnecessary complexities, a system boiler can be a suitable alternative, functioning similarly to a larger combi boiler. However, it's important to note that they require a sizable hot water storage tank, and if depleted due to prolonged high water usage, it may take some time to refill. This makes them popular among homeowners with larger properties.

It typically operates with a steel hot water cylinder but can also function with vented cylinders.

Standard Boiler

Standard boilers (also known as traditional boilers) heat water using separate tanks: hot, cold, and expansion tanks. The cold water tank gathers water from the mains. When hot water is required, the cold water tank supplies water to the hot water tank for heating. The expansion tank comes into play if there's an excess of heated water.

A Conventional Boiler is ideal for older properties with outdated central heating and hot water setups, such as old radiators not compatible with modern high-pressure systems.

Similarly, it's well-suited for larger properties with multiple bathrooms or high hot water demands, especially in areas with low water pressure.

The Fuel Efficient Boiler

A condensing boiler, widely used in many homes nowadays, is a highly efficient type of boiler. These boilers capture gas produced from burning fuels such as gas and oil, utilizing it to heat water as it enters the system. This not only saves money but also helps reduce carbon emissions.

A condensing boiler utilizes advanced technology to maximize the efficiency of heat generation. When fuels like gas or oil are burned, gases are released through a flue. In traditional non-condensing boiler systems, these gases are expelled into the atmosphere, wasting their heating potential.

However, in a condensing boiler, these hot gases are captured and recycled back into the system through a heat exchanger, known as the primary circuit. Depending on the boiler type, this primary circuit then distributes the heat to either the heating circuit (radiators) or the domestic hot water. In a combi boiler, the hot water is typically heated through a secondary heat exchanger called a plate to plate. In a heat-only appliance, the domestic hot water is heated and stored in a cylinder within the property.

ErP is a measurement of how energy efficient a boiler is when providing the heat for a property.

The ErP directive employs letters from A to G to evaluate the efficiency of a boiler or heating system, where A+++ represents the highest rating and G indicates the lowest. For context, A-rated boilers are 90% or more efficient, while G-rated boilers are less than 70% efficient.

Most modern boilers are rated 'A' 90% or above efficient.

A modern boiler could save you up to £70 a month on energy bills.

Getting The Right Boiler Chosen

When it's time for a new boiler installation, whether for a newly constructed home or to replace an old, inefficient system, there are crucial questions to consider for selecting the right boiler.

What Is Your Budget?

Never underestimate the importance of your budget when considering a new boiler. It significantly influences your decision-making process. Keep in mind that purchasing the most expensive boiler available may not necessarily be the best option. It's crucial to find the right boiler for your property in terms of size, power, and cost.

Overspending on an oversized boiler means paying for something you don't actually need. If you're unsure about the available options, our trained heating engineers can assist you in selecting the boiler that best suits your needs.
