Regular Boilers

What are the differences &
benefits of a regular boiler?

Also known as ‘conventional’ or ‘heat-only’ boilers, regular boilers are connected to a water tank to send heat directly to your radiators, taps and shower heads.

With a regular boiler, you can heat water in the storage tank when you know you’ll need it, and leave it switched off when not in use.

The most common regular boiler is an ‘open-vented’ heat-only system, which requires a cold water feed and expansion tanks at the top of your property. And regular boilers will usually have components housed externally from the boiler, so they’re not as neat and tidy to look at.

Pros of regular boilers

  • Good for larger households – if you have multiple bathrooms with people frequently needing to use hot water at the same time, a heat-only boiler will meet this demand

Cons of regular boilers

  • No hot water on demand – you need to plan ahead or wait for the water in the cylinder to heat up
  • Occasional hot water shortages – it’s easy to run out of hot water with a regular boiler if lots of people are using the hot water at the same time. This is when you have to wait for the hot water tank to refill
  • The room they need – you’ll have to find space for the cold water feed and expansion tanks
  • Not as efficient – you will lose heat if you’re storing hot water in the hot water cylinder
  • Cost of installation – regular boilers can be pricey to install if you don’t already have the expansion tank and cold water feed

Regular boilers should only be a consideration if you live in a large property with other people. But when managed well, they’ll help you avoid the hot water squabbles!
