They are compact and cost-effective. They don't need to be installed alongside any bulky tanks or cylinders.

Everything a combi boiler needs to deliver heating and hot water is wrapped up into the boiler itself. This makes it possible for the combi to deliver near-instant heating and hot water on demand.

In terms of how they work to heat the home. System boilers sit somewhere between combi and regular boilers.

Like a combi, they're directly connected to the mains. That means no tanks in the loft. But, unlike a combi, they store hot water in a cylinder. This does mean more space needs to be dedicated to the heating system. This allows them to meet higher demands for domestic hot water.

So, if you live in a property with multiple bathrooms, then a system gas boiler is likely to be your best option.

Regular boilers are the oldest type of heating system and go by many names. Conventional, heat-only, open-vent and traditional.

They may be the oldest boiler type. The technology has advanced over the years. This makes regular boilers more efficient and reliable than ever.

In addition to the boiler itself, a regular boiler needs to be installed alongside feed and expansion tanks. As well as a hot water cylinder. Cold water fills a tank in the loft, which is then fed down to the boiler. This heats the water before sending it to hot water outlets or a hot water cylinder

A standard boiler installation typically takes between 1 and 3 day. However, if there are any complexities with the job, this could take more time. Find out more in this boiler installation guide

MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) is a whole-house ventilation system that removes stale air and replaces it with fresh, filtered air while recovering heat to improve energy efficiency.

It extracts warm, stale air from areas like kitchens and bathrooms, passes it through a heat exchanger, and uses that heat to warm incoming fresh air before distributing it throughout the home.

MVHR works best in well-insulated and airtight properties, such as new builds or renovated homes. It can be installed in existing homes, but performance depends on the building’s airtightness.

Costs vary depending on property size and system design, but typically range from £3,000 to £8,000+ for supply and installation.

Yes, by recovering heat from extracted air, MVHR reduces the amount of energy needed to heat your home, improving overall efficiency.

Yes, filters should be cleaned or replaced every 6–12 months, and the system should be serviced periodically to ensure optimal performance.

When properly designed and installed, MVHR systems operate very quietly, often going unnoticed in day-to-day use.

Yes, by continuously removing moist air and supplying fresh air, MVHR helps prevent condensation, damp, and mould issues.

No, MVHR provides continuous ventilation, so opening windows isn’t necessary for air quality, though you still can if you want to.
