Types of boiler available
Condensing conventional boiler
Overview
A conventional boiler system has two water tanks in the loft, a large 'cold water storage tank' and a small 'feed and expansion tank'. The 'cold water storage tank' draws water from the cold water mains to refill.
Water from the storage tank feeds cold water down to the cylinder (normally in the airing cupboard). The condensing central heating boiler will heat the cylinder and converts cold water to hot, this then enables the cylinder to release gallons of hot water to taps throughout the house. A pump will circulate the hot water via the pipes and in turn heat the radiators.
