System Boiler Guide

System boilers come with a built-in hot water storage cylinder, allowing them to provide hot water to multiple taps and showers simultaneously. This makes them ideal for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.

Unlike traditional regular boilers, system boilers do not require a separate water tank in the loft. This integrated design saves space, making system boilers suitable for homes with limited storage or loft space.

System boilers are energy efficient, especially in homes with high hot water demands. Since they store hot water, they reduce the need to reheat water constantly, leading to potential energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.

System boilers require fewer external components than conventional boilers, which simplifies installation and often results in lower installation costs and less time spent on setup.

With fewer components compared to traditional boiler systems, system boilers tend to be lower maintenance and are generally more reliable. This can translate into fewer breakdowns and less need for regular maintenance.

System boilers need a separate hot water cylinder, which means they occupy more space than combi boilers. The cylinder must be housed somewhere in the home, which may be challenging in smaller properties.

Although system boilers can deliver hot water on demand, they can only provide as much hot water as the cylinder holds. Once the stored hot water is used up, you’ll have to wait for the cylinder to refill and reheat, which could be inconvenient during high-demand times.

The upfront cost of a system boiler and its installation can be higher than some other boiler types. While the long-term energy savings can offset these costs, the initial investment may be a consideration for some homeowners.
