Heat Only Boilers
Heat only boilers, also known as regular or conventional boilers, are a type of heating system commonly used in homes and buildings for central heating and domestic hot water supply. Unlike combi boilers, which provide hot water on demand, heat only boilers work in conjunction with a separate hot water cylinder and often require a cold water storage tank in the loft. The heat only boiler itself is responsible for heating water used for both central heating and, indirectly, for domestic hot water. It burns fuel (such as natural gas, oil, or LPG) to heat the water. A hot water cylinder, also known as a storage cylinder, stores hot water for domestic use. It can be heated directly by the boiler or indirectly via a coil that transfers heat from the central heating system to the stored water. Heat only boilers are often chosen for larger homes with multiple bathrooms and higher hot water demands. Heat only boilers can be integrated with renewable energy sources such as solar thermal panels. Heat only boilers are a reliable and efficient heating solution, especially for larger homes with significant hot water demands. When considering a heat only boiler, carefully assess your space requirements and hot water needs to choose the right system for your property. Proper installation, maintenance, and safety precautions are crucial for the efficient and safe operation of heat only boilers.
