Want help in choosing the best boiler for you? Call us at RJ Gas Heating Services right now!! Choosing The Best Boiler Choosing the best boiler for your home can be quite confusing. Before buying one, we recommend you to check with a Gas Safe Registered Engineer to make sure that you are buying the one that best suits you. Here are the major boiler types to get you acquainted: Sealed or unsealed open vent system boilers – Uses up loft space for water storage and needs a cupboard in living space. Also hot water isn’t “on-tap” and is stored. So, hot water can run out quickly and then you will have to wait for it to re-heat. Back boiler – Uses up even more space ( behind chimney,loft and cupboard) and can have quite low water pressure (most people only get this system if they are replacing another back boiler they already have). Unvented seal system boilers – You may consider this system for a larger home though you can still run out of hot water and must wait for it to be heated when you use it. Combination boilers – Uses up the least space. Hot water is on tap and can be very economical. But may not be best for larger homes. Perfect for most London flats.
