System Boiler

System boilers are the modern version of the Boiler & Cylinder combo. The cylinder and airing cupboard are kept as is the Cold Water storage tank in the loft. The f&e Tank in the loft (the small one used for heating) is removed.

The system boiler incorporates the Sealed system (pressurised pipework) characteristics of the combination boiler, ie it is filled off the mains and air locks are non existent. These boilers can be installed with internal (boiler) or external (airing cupboard) controls. They are ideal for houses where a cylinder is needed because of increased hot water demand (3people+)

Pros

  • Sealed/pressurised heating system

  • No air locks

  • No loft tank

  • No noisy pumps (internal controls)

  • Still have an immersion if boiler fails

  • Still have a cylinder of hot water if the mains fails

Cons

  • Still have a tank in the loft for hot water

  • Not mains pressure hot water

  • Hot water not instant - cylinder fed

The system boiler is well suited to properties where the plumbing is in good condition. if pipework is dubious then we recommend that it is replaced before installing a pressurised heating system. Recently (last 10yrs) the best system boilers started to include all the controls internally and this has helped reduced running costs via low voltage circuits within the boiler. this has cut emissions and usage costs. we only recommend the best quality boilers on the market.
