Boiler Types

Highly Efficient Heating Ltd is a Worcester Bosch accredited installer to a Diamond Standard and at Worcester Bosch, there are three types of boiler that we manufacture; Combination (Combi) boilers, System boilers and Regular boilers. All three types vary and are suited for different homes and living situations. Combis boiler are small and compact and provide instant hot water, whereas System boilers require a hot water cylinder for storing hot water. Regular boilers require a cold water tank as well and are usually found in homes with a traditional heating system.

Combi, system and regular boilers are available in gas, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and oil variants. Gas boilers tend to cost less to operate than oil-fired boilers, however the fuel type you choose will depend on what’s available in your area.
