Modern living, government pressure, and consumer demand has meant the way we heat our homes has changed tremendously in the last 20 or 30 years. No longer does the first riser of the house have to go downstairs, and get the fire going to warm up the room for the children, and to get some hot water to wash and bathe in. Gone are the days of having to clean the fireplace and remove the ash and remains of the whatever has been burnt on it the night before.

There are many different variants of central heating boilers, and we can categorize them several ways. The easiest way to group them is by the way in which they operate. We have Combination Boilers, or combi boilers, where typically everything is encased inside one box on the wall. And then we have Conventional Boilers, where we have two tanks in the loft, and an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder. We also have System Boilers, where we have an airing cupboard, but one less tank in the loft.

Purchasing a boiler is a very important decision, you will want a good ten to fifteen years reliable service from it at least, so please make sure you do your research before you buy.
