The Benefits Of Installing A Combi Boiler

Many people remember having to share bath water with their siblings when they were growing up to avoid having to heat up another tank of water to fill the tub. And do you remember the days when you suddenly fancied a bath but had to wait around for the boiler to warn up enough water to have a good soak?

Thankfully, modern boiler systems are far more advanced and none more so than the combi boiler, which has quickly become established as the system of choice.

If you are thinking about having a combi boiler installed and perhaps looking at Valiant Boilers you might need to know just why this type of heating system is right for your home. Here are some of the benefits of combi boilers.

Showers with Power

Unlike other boiler systems, a combi boiler delivers the hot water directly from source and at mains pressure, which means you can enjoy showers that deliver a really invigorating torrent and a bath that quickly fills up. There’s not much worse than standing under a shower head which is feebly dribbling out a trickle or waiting so long for the bath to fill up that the water gets cold.

Economical with Money

Energy bills are something that make most householders recoil in horror these days, with recent price rises leaving many thinking twice before switching the heating on. Combi boilers help to deliver cost savings without your having to compromise by shivering in a cold house or skimping on a nice hot bath or shower.

They manage this in several ways. First of all, the majority have a wide modulation range, which in layman terms means the ignition is not constantly switching itself on and off and instead can adapt to the required output. An integral clock allows you to decide when you want your central heating to switch on and off, making sure the house is toasty without having the heating permanently blasting away. A thermostat also helps you to regulate the temperature, allowing the boiler to switch off as the room reaches the desired level of warmth and preventing unnecessary energy use.

Economical with Space

But it isn’t just pennies you will save. A combi boiler frees up much more storage space in your house and loft. Whilst you will still need a cupboard to house the boiler, most combi systems are delightfully compact, making them easy to conceal behind a small door. They simply do not compare to the huge tanks which were often found in airing cupboards. Just one small and compact unit can provide both hot water and central heating, leaving your airing cupboard free for linen and towels and no awkward tank in the attic to man oeuvre around.

You don’t have to be a plumbing expert to see the benefits that a combi boiler can offer. You could save money whilst relaxing in a nice warm home, with no more waiting around for that relaxing bath!
