Types of boilers in Newport

There are three types of boilers that you can choose, these include...

Combi Boilers

Combi boiler is the more popular option at the moment. Combi boiler comes as a single unit and It can be fitted in compact places, making it the ideal option for smaller sized properties. The disadvantages of a combi boiler are that it is more suitable for small houses or houses with one bathroom and it is more expensive than a regular and heat-only boiler.

Heat Only  Boilers

These types of boilers function by heating water, which is then circulated through radiators and pipelines to heat the rest of your home. They are usually use natural gas or oil, with a straightforward design and a heat exchanger, burner and controls to adjust the pressure and the temperature.

In Newport, older types of properties which already have a hot water cylinder and a traditional heating system are better suited for heat only boilers. The separate hot water cylinder can provide a large volume of hot water, making them suitable for households with high hot water requirements.

System Boilers

System boilers, are often referred to sealed system boilers. They are similar to heat-only boilers, but have an integrated hot water cylinder, eliminating the need for an additional hot water tank or cylinder, helping save safe in your home.

Regular and heat-only boilers are bigger, need more space and come with cylinders. These boilers are suitable for bigger houses and houses with more than one bathroom. When you need to install or replace your boiler keep all these things in mind. If you have a small house with only a one-bathroom, a combi boiler is the right choice otherwise consider installing a regular/heat-only boiler.

If you are still not sure which boiler you need to choose for you and your home, our heating engineers in Newport will be happy to guide you through the entire process from start to finish. Speak with our Gas Safe registered engineers today by viewing our contact details down below.

When do you need a boiler replacement?

Age of the Boiler

Most boilers have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If yours is approaching or exceeding this range, it's wise to consider replacement. The Energy Saving Trust reports that boilers over 15 years old can operate at efficiencies as low as 70%, compared to modern models that achieve up to 95% efficiency.

Frequent Repairs

If you're calling for repairs more than once a year, it's likely more cost-effective to invest in a new unit. The cumulative cost of repairs often outweighs the price of a replacement, especially when factoring in the improved efficiency of newer models.

Rising Energy Bills

An unexplained increase in your energy bills, despite consistent usage, often indicates declining boiler efficiency. Modern A-rated boilers can save up to £380 per year on heating costs compared to older, inefficient models.

Inconsistent Heating

If you notice cold spots in radiators or fluctuating water temperatures, your boiler may be struggling to distribute heat effectively. This issue often stems from internal component wear and can signify the need for replacement.

Strange Noises

Banging, whistling, or gurgling sounds from your boiler aren't normal. These noises can indicate serious issues like kettling (limescale build-up) or pump failure, which may necessitate replacement in older units.

Benefits of getting a new boiler installed in Newport

Improved Energy Efficiency

Older heating systems are typically less efficient and, as a result, can be expensive to operate. A new boiler can be as efficient as 90 percent, indicating that 90 percent of the energy used is converted to heat. This can lead to reduced energy costs and help reduce your carbon footprint.

Increases Reliability

Bring susceptible to failures and require frequent maintenance, an installation of a new boiler can provide increased reliability and peace of mind that your heating and hot water system is less likely to fail when you need it most.

Increases value of your property

A new boiler installation can also increase your home's value. If you decide to sell your home in the future, a more efficient and dependable heating and hot water system can be an attractive feature for potential purchasers, making your home more marketable.

How to Choose the Right Boiler for Your Home

Selecting the appropriate boiler for your Newport home requires careful consideration of several factors.

Property Size and Heating Requirements

Assess your home's size and layout. Larger properties or those with multiple bathrooms may require a system or conventional boiler, while smaller homes or flats might be well-served by a combi boiler. Calculate your heating and hot water needs based on the number of radiators and regular hot water usage.

Energy Efficiency

Opt for boilers with high energy efficiency ratings, preferably A-rated models. These boilers convert a higher percentage of fuel into usable heat, reducing energy waste and lowering bills. In Newport, where winters can be chilly, an efficient boiler can make a significant difference in comfort and costs.

Fuel Type Availability

Consider the fuel types available in your area. While natural gas is common in Newport, some properties may rely on oil, LPG, or electricity. Your fuel choice will significantly impact running costs and environmental impact.

Space Constraints

Evaluate the available space for your new boiler. If space is limited, a wall-mounted combi boiler might be ideal. For homes with more room, system or conventional boilers with separate water tanks could be considered.

Water Pressure

Check your home's water pressure. Areas in Newport with low water pressure might benefit from a system boiler with a pump, while high-pressure areas can efficiently use combi boilers.
