Are you considering a heating upgrade for your home? Our combi boilers might be the right fit.
A combi boiler is a highly effective, space-saving solution for both heating and hot water. They are particularly good for small to medium-sized flats and homes. Below, we’ll review how to choose the best combi boiler from leading manufacturers, and how these all-in-one units work.
Why Choose a New Combi Boiler?
Combi boilers are dual-function units that provide both home heating and warm water. They are compact and don’t require a hot water tank. Our new combination boilers offer multiple benefits for homes, including:
Maximises space
No need for separate water tanks or cylinders
Energy Efficient
Immediate hot water
...
Understanding Combi Boilers
Combination boilers are a great solution for home central heating and hot water. They merge both functions into one compact unit. This means no bulky water storage cylinders or tanks. They’re compact and space-efficient, which simplifies fittings and annual servicing.
Combi boilers provide warmth and comfort to modest houses without stretching your energy bill.
How Do Combi Boilers Work?
Whether your combi boiler runs on mains gas, oil or LPG, the fuel enters a sealed combustion chamber inside the boiler, and an electric ignition ignites it.
The primary heat exchanger in the boiler heats incoming water to the required temperature, which then flows through all the radiators in your home or is delivered to taps and showers, as needed.
Benefits of Installing a New Combi Boiler
Maximise space
Combi boilers are a single unit and don’t require central heating water tanks or additional cylinders. Back boiler replacement allows the removal of both the cold-water storage tank and the hot-water cylinder.
These compact units fit snugly in a kitchen cupboard or utility room, making them ideal heating solutions for properties with limited space. The smaller the flat or home, the greater the potential for space becomes.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
New combi boilers make the most out of every unit of energy, achieving high energy-efficiency levels of up to 98%. The Viessmann Vitodens 200-W and the 111-W storage combi boiler are perfect examples.
Stainless steel heat exchangers remain efficient for 15 years. This makes them more economical and environmentally friendly than other boiler types, helping to decrease your carbon footprint and energy bills. While Aluminium can lose up to 10% efficiency over 10 years, costing the owner more money over time
This doesn’t just benefit you in the short term; it supports an environmentally sustainable future, making combi boilers a responsible choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
Installation and Maintenance of Your New Combi Boiler
Correct fixtures and maintenance are crucial for optimal combi boiler operation and safety. In the UK, only Gas Safe-registered engineers are authorised to service gas and LPG boilers. Engineers should be registered with APHC or OFTEC for oil combination boiler installations.
Partnering with a reputable installer like Boilerhut means you’ll get top-quality products and the assurance of exceptional fixture services by engineers who know their craft inside and out.
An expertly installed combi boiler is the foundation of a reliable heating and hot water supply for years.
Keeping Your Combi Boiler in Top Condition
Routine combi boiler servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is necessary to maintain your warranty and keep your boiler in optimal condition. By identifying potential issues early, you can prevent costly breakdowns, keep your heating bills in check, and ensure your family’s safety.
Periodic system flushing, short summer boiler runs, and checking your radiator valves go a long way in preventing blockages and ensuring your combi boiler responds efficiently when the chill of winter sets in.
Selecting the Perfect Combi Boiler for Your Home
A modern combi boiler, with its innovative pre-heat systems, is designed to respond swiftly to these demands, ensuring that you have hot water when and where you need it. Several factors influence the best combi boiler for your home, including the:
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Hot water outlets and water pressure
Size of property and installation flexibility
We supply combi boilers from leading boiler brands, each equipped with unique features and benefits for varying needs. Whether you want something basic or a unit packed with the latest technology, brands like Alpha and Navien have you covered with award-winning models in various sizes and outputs.

Comparing Combi Boilers to Other Types
Whilst a combi boiler may not be the best solution for every situation, they are a popular choice for small and medium-sized homes and flats.
It’s worth noting that system boilers and conventional boiler setups are prone to running out of hot water during periods of high demand.
If you are considering a switch from a conventional to a combi system, be prepared for a large overhaul, as this change often requires additional pipework.

7 out of 5 stars! Outstanding service from boilerhut.
From start to finish, our experience with Boilerhut was outstanding. The entire team was extremely professional, empathetic and understanding throughout the process. They communicated clearly and always checked with us before implementing any changes, ensuring that we remained fully informed and comfortable with every decision.
A very special mention must go to Paul, who was absolutely fantastic. His customer service, patience and genuine commitment to helping us could not have been better.
The speed of the service was remarkable: there was only one day between signing the agreement and having our new boiler fitted. Even after the installation, the team continued to check in with us to make sure that we were completely happy and that everything was working as expected.
Their quotation was extremely reasonable. In fact, it was the lowest we received, but this certainly did not mean compromising on quality. No corners were cut, and the work was completed to an excellent standard.
We cannot recommend Boilerhut highly enough. I would happily give them 7 stars out of 5 if Trustpilot allowed it!

I couldn't be happier with the service from Boilerhut. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient, taking the time to explain the different options and helping me choose the right boiler for my home. Their advice made the whole process straightforward and gave me confidence that I was making the right decision.
I chose the Viessmann Vitodens 050 30kW with the Vitotrol 100-E, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. The quality of the boiler is excellent, it's efficient, quiet, and easy to use, and the Vitotrol 100-E is a fantastic addition that makes controlling the heating simple and convenient.
If you're looking for honest advice, great customer service, and expert knowledge, I would highly recommend Boilerhut. They made what could have been a stressful decision easy from start to finish.

Boilerhut is fantastic.
My new boiler was delivered and installed within two days from order to finish.
All of the required work (including a local roofer for the flue) was arranged for me and ran like clockwork.
The fitters worked so hard and completed the install in one day.
All of my old boiler and packaging and packing was removed from site.
This was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend Boilerhut.

New Boiler, Exemplary Service.
This review is about 6 weeks old, I had a new boiler fitted 14 May 26. Didnt do it straight away as needed to let everything settle down as it important to get it right as its a lot of money to spend.
Review has 2 parts both get 5 stars,
1st Boiler Hut, easy to use great range of products sales team Paul was great and helpful, helped me choose right boiler for my needs, Viessman 100 chosen and installed. Great price not as expensive as I was fearing. So far working great, lashings of hot water always available.
2nd part, Installation Team, Cory and Ben turned up approx 0830 and got straight on it, Cory did boiler work (decommision of old boiler and installation of new boiler) whilst Ben attacked my old radiators, taking out 6 old (20 yrs plus) radiators and nasty 10mm microbore piping, replacing with 6 new radiators and new 15mm piping both under floor and surface mounting. All this work completed by 1700hrs same day, guys cleaned up after themselves removed all rubbish and old boiler and rads and pipe work. Can not praise them enough, thanks guys. I would not hesitate to recommend most highly either Boiler Hut or Cory and Ben to anyone who needs a new bolier or fitting, Thanks guys brillant.

Frequently Asked Questions
We know Combi boiler installations can be confusing. Explore our answers to some of the most common questions.
Which combi boiler is right for my home?
To ensure your new combi boiler installation is compatible with your home, consider your property’s size, number of bedrooms, and hot water usage to determine the right proportions for your combi boiler.
These important factors will help you find the most suitable option for your home. Use our boiler size calculator to learn more.
What is the downside of a combi boiler?
The downside of a combi boiler is its reliance on a strong mains supply.
This is why a combi boiler may not be suited for larger homes. These limitations should be considered before making a decision.
Are combi boilers environmentally friendly?
Yes, combi boilers are environmentally friendly due to their high efficiency rating and reduced CO2 emissions.
Why do homeowners choose combi boilers?
Combi boilers are popular among homeowners for their compact design and ability to provide hot water immediately. The immediate response to heating demands means never having to endure a cold shower or a chilly room.
Combi boilers have two heat exchangers inside them:
A primary heat exchanger (for central heating and hot water)
A secondary plate heat exchanger (for hot water)
The primary heat exchanger heats and recirculates the water that flows through the pipes to the radiators.
The secondary plate heat exchanger uses returning hot water from the radiators and heats the sealed pipes with water that goes into your taps.
How close will the combi boiler be to the bathroom?
If you are planning to install your new boiler in the garage and you have a bathroom on the other side of the house, you could experience a delay in the time it takes for water to heat up and reach your taps and showers.
For best results, your combi boiler should be installed either reasonably close to your bathroom or equidistant to the kitchen taps and bathroom.
Can a combi boiler go in the loft?
Yes. We offer combi boilers with fixtures anywhere in a property. Owners like lofts as they are out of the way and don’t take up kitchen, utility or airing cupboard space.
However, it’s worth remembering that if the boiler needs resetting or the pressure drops and needs filling up, you may need to get to that combi boiler in the loft. This may not be the easiest thing to do for everyone.
Yes. In general, boilers can be installed anywhere in a property. It all depends on the pipework and where the gas supply enters the property. If you have room in your bathroom for a boiler, there is no reason you can’t install it in there.
How much electricity does a new combination boiler use?
It’s a widespread assumption that gas boilers operate without electricity, relying solely on the gas supply. However, this isn’t the case. Despite gas being the main fuel, gas boilers do require a small amount of electricity to function.
