What is an open vent boiler?

An open vent boiler is also known as a regular or heat only boiler. The open vent heating system usually comprises of the boiler, a hot water storage cylinder and where required a feed and expansion tank in the loft. Open vent boilers can consistently supply hot water to a number of taps at the same time. They work well if you are replacing an old open vent heating system, and are ideal if water pressure is low in your area. Open vent boilers are also compatible with solar water heating and heat pump systems for a lower carbon footprint and lower energy costs.

What is a system boiler?

System boilers need a cylinder to store hot water, but system components are built into the boiler itself, so there is no need for a cold water feed and expansion tank in the loft. System boilers can give a constant supply of hot water to a number of taps at the same time. With no need for a loft tank, system boilers free up space and eliminate worries about leaks or frost damage. They can also work with solar water heating systems and heat pumps, making a great entry into renewable heating solutions.

What is a combi boiler?

’Combi’ is short for combination boiler. This type of boiler heats water as you draw it from the tap and provides central heating. It doesn’t need a cold water feed and expansion tank or a hot water storage cylinder because the boiler is connected directly to the water mains, meaning it only heats water as and when it is needed. As you only have the combi boiler unit in this heating system, it can free up space for conversion, storage and living. Homes that need larger supplies of hot water are usually better suited to a system or open vent boiler with a hot water cylinder.
