Gas Boiler Installations Gateshead

A typical boiler installation can become complicated and confusing as there are quite a few things to consider. There are three main types of gas condensing boilers to choose from:

A combination boiler, also known as a combi boiler, eliminates the need for a storage tank as this heat your water as and when you need it.

A heat only boiler which is seen as the conventional boiler comes with a hot water tank or cylinder that stores your hot water for later use.

The system boiler is commonly used for a busier household which requires a store of hot water. If you choose a pressurised hot water system, there will be no need for tanks or cylinders which can lead to increased efficiency.

In addition to which type of boiler to go for there is getting the most efficient size of boiler for your property which will be unique to your home as the size depends on factors like how many bathrooms your property has and how many people live there etc.

CP12 Energy can help you make these decisions and make the process a lot easier by sending out an engineer to observe the property and ask questions about your property to get an idea to what boiler is best for your home. As well as answering any questions you may have as well. This allows the engineers to recommend the boiler which will keep you warm but is most efficient saving money on those ever-growing energy bills.
