Combi boiler installation in Aylesbury

- A few quick questions
- No obligation
A combi boiler suits many smaller and medium homes in and around Aylesbury. It gives hot water as you use it, so there is no tank to store it. Whether it suits yours depends on your pipework, your water pressure and how many people use hot water at once.
How a combi boiler works
A combi, short for combination, boiler does two jobs. It heats the water for your radiators, and it heats the water for your taps and shower when you open them.
Because it heats water on demand, you do not need a hot water cylinder or a cold water tank in the loft. That frees up space in an airing cupboard or loft.
The water arrives at mains pressure, so a good supply matters. Your installer will check this when they look at the job.

Combi boiler questions
Will I lose my hot water tank?
Usually a combi replaces the cylinder and the loft tank, because it heats water on demand. Your installer will confirm what can be removed in your home.
Is a combi right for a home with two bathrooms?
It depends on your water flow and how often two outlets run together. A system boiler with a cylinder can suit bigger households better.
