Heat Only Boilers

Heat only boilers, also known as regular or conventional boilers, provide central heating and hot water through a traditional setup. These units work alongside a separate cold water storage tank and a hot water cylinder to supply the household. They are typically installed in older properties that already have this pipework in place, making a direct swap more straightforward than converting to a combi system. Because they store hot water, they can supply multiple taps simultaneously without a drop in pressure.

When fitting a regular boiler, integrating standard heating controls allows for accurate temperature regulation and schedule management throughout the property. The boiler heats the water which is then stored in hot water cylinders, ensuring a steady supply of hot water for baths and showers across multiple bathrooms. To distribute the heat effectively throughout the rooms, the system pushes hot water out to the radiators, keeping the living space at a comfortable temperature during colder months. The connection between these components is generally made using durable copper tube, which easily handles the high temperatures and pressures of a domestic heating loop.

These boilers are available in varying capacities, from smaller 12kW units up to more capable 30kW models, accommodating different property sizes and heating demands. Most modern gas and oil regular boilers are condensing, meaning they recover latent heat from exhaust gases to improve overall efficiency and meet current building compliance standards. They fit easily into standard kitchen cupboards or utility rooms, and because they do not have a built-in pump or expansion vessel, the boiler unit itself is often lighter and simpler to mount on a wall.
