Which Boiler do I Need

There are three different types of boilers to choose from: Combi, System and Regular

Combi Boiler

This is always the preferred option as it has the lowest running costs and will also supply high pressure hot water. The only reasons not to have a combi boiler are if you need to run more than two showers at once or if you wish to make use of solar heating panels. In these cases you need to have a system boiler and an unvented cylinder.

System Boiler

For large properties with three or more bathrooms the best option is a system boiler with an unvented cylinder. This setup is slightly more expensive to run than a combi as the cylinder has to be kept hot but it will provide the flow rates required to run several hot water supplies at the same time. Some unvented cylinders have the option to make use of solar heating panels which will reduce the cost of keeping the cylinder hot.

Regular Boiler

Sometimes known as a 'conventional' or 'heat-only' boiler, this 'open-vented' setup is the most expensive to run as the cylinder is less well insulated than an unvented one. Also, the hot water pressure will be much lower than that provided by either a combi or system boiler because it relies on gravity rather than the pressure of the incoming mains. The only reason to keep an open-vented system is cost, to convert to a combi or unvented system involves a fair amount of pipework alterations

  Paul at Premier Heating has done a number of jobs for me over the years and he's always prompt, courteous, professional, tidy and thorough. Does a great job in assessing and quoting accurately, completing work on time and he's reasonably and transparently priced. He's replaced my boiler and rerouted the flume (after keeping the previous elderly boiler going a bit longer with research for obscure and obsolete spares!), done boiler services, most recently replaced a shower thermostat and done other small jobs. Highly recommended and a great find through word of mouth from a friend more than ten years ago.

  Paul installed a new radiator and tap - along with some other valuable jobs - at my house the other day. I wish I'd known about him when I had to replace my gas boiler! Very reasonably priced and good quality work, leaving the place tidy. Last, but not least, he responds to messages promptly and turns up on time!

  Paul did a fabulous job removing a bath and fitting a shower, then converted a downstairs cupboard into a downstairs toilet for my sister. Did a fabulous job at a very reasonable price with minimum fuss. My sister is over the moon

  I have been using Paul at Premier Heating to look after my boiler and heating system/radiators for many years.  He installed a new boiler and radiators for me 6 years ago.  It has saved me a great deal of money in heating bills and kept my home lovely and warm throughout cold weather.  Paul is also excellent at coming out when you need urgent help and sorting it quickly.  I recommend Paul for all gas boiler and heating services.  He's the best gas engineer I have ever used.
