types of boilers

[tostaky]

At the moment, i've got a big water tank in the bedroom, two smaller ones in the loft and a boiler in the kitchen.
So im thinking, what about a combi boiler since it takes less space? ive got three bedrooms and one bathroom, one kitchen.

How do you chose which boiler is best for your property? Is there some resources on the internet?
Also is there some brands that are better than other?

many thanks!

My choice would be a Valliant Turbomax as mine has been going strong for 4 yrs

The higher the flowrate, rated in the better. The more expensive combis are more reliable: Vaillant, Atmos, Buderus, ECO-Hometec, Viessman, Atag, Worcester-Bosch..

Get a stored water combi (can be a bit big in case size) like a Glow Worm or Alpha CD50, or a 38 to 40 kW infinately continuous combi, like the 38kW Glow Worm combi. You then will not be disappointed with performance.

I shall try to remember that!

But what is the difference between a combi boiler and a regular boiler? With a combi boiler, can i get rid of my power shower? I think ive got 3G of water pressure

A combi does DHW and CH and a regular boiler only does CH and heats water via a cylinder.
