Combination Boilers (Standard or High Efficiency)
A combination boiler produces a near instantaneous supply of hot water on tap, 24 hours a day. Unlike conventional heating and hot water systems, a combination system does not store hot water, but heats water as you use it. There is no cylinder, no tank and no connecting pipe work, which saves space and reduces hot water costs.
Condensing Boilers (Hi - Efficiency)
A condensing boiler or 'energy-saving' boiler is a high efficiency boiler. It extracts more heat from the flue gases than a standard boiler, so very little heat is wasted through the flue, which saves you money on your heating bills. From April 2005 all new boilers fitted will have to be this type of boiler unless there is proven technical reason (exception) why fitting a condensing boiler would not be possible.
