Types of Central Heating Systems

Not all homes need the same type of boiler. Below we explain the three main central heating systems — Combi, System, and Regular — so you can see which one best fits your property and lifestyle.

Combi Boilers

Combi (combination) boilers are the most common choice in the UK. They heat water directly from the mains, so there’s no need for a separate hot water cylinder or tank.

  • Great for smaller homes and flats where space is limited.

  • Provides hot water on demand without waiting for a tank to heat up.

System Boilers

System boilers use a hot water cylinder to store heated water, making them ideal for households with higher demand for hot water across multiple taps and showers.

  • Perfect for medium to large homes with more than one bathroom.

  • Reliable hot water supply even when multiple outlets are in use.

Regular (Conventional) Boilers

Regular boilers, also known as conventional or heat-only boilers, use both a hot water cylinder and cold water storage tanks, usually in the loft.

  • Best for larger homes with older radiator systems.

  • Can supply hot water to multiple bathrooms at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace just a few radiators instead of the whole system?

Yes, we can install or relocate individual radiators, or upgrade your existing units without replacing the full system

Is underfloor heating expensive to run?

Underfloor heating is highly efficient and can cost less to run than traditional radiators, especially when paired with modern boilers or heat pumps.
