Advice on Finding the Right Boiler and Gas Installer in New Forest

Author: Harrison Heating

Getting the right boiler for your house can be very important. If you choose the wrong kind of boiler, you may end up spending a lot more money than you actually need to, without actually getting what you need out of the boiler you choose. If you are looking for advice on what boiler to choose for your heating and hot water needs, or if you are looking for advice from a heating engineer in New Forest then here are some important tips:

What type of Boiler do I need?

If you want to get a new central heating system or a replacement boiler in New Forest, then there are plenty of different types of boiler to choose from; each with its own pros and cons. Combination boilers are a great choice for smaller homes, because they do not require much space, and they do not require a large hot water storage tank. They can heat enough water to supply the taps and the radiators at the same time. However, they may not be able to provide enough hot water for a larger household, if there is likely to be more than one shower in use at once.

If you have a larger household, you may be more interested in choosing a boiler with an unvented hot water cylinder system. These systems are much better for homes or businesses which may need to use larger amounts of hot water at any one time, such as if more than one person wants to take a shower at the same time, in different bathrooms, before they go to work or to school. The main drawback of this type of system is that it takes up much more space than a system without a tank, and would therefore be impractical in some smaller homes or flats.

Using a Gas Installer in New Forest

Almost all of the gas boilers which are installed by a boiler installer in New Forest are condensing boilers. Legislation means that a gas replacement boiler in New Forest should have a condensing element, unless there are exceptional circumstances which mean that this would not be possible. Condensing boilers are more energy efficient than regular gas boilers, so they can help you to keep costs low. If you do decide that you want to get a gas boiler, rather than an electrical boiler, then you will need to make sure that is properly installed by a qualified service engineer. Every reputable boiler installer in New Forest who works with gas should be fully qualified, and they should be registered as GasSafe. This means that they have passed all the required training and they know how to install gas boilers is a safe and responsible way.
