Boiler installation
When it comes to heating your home efficiently and effectively, choosing the right boiler is crucial. At Axion Heat, we specialize in installing four main types of boilers:
- Combi (Combination) Boilers
- System Boilers
- Conventional (Regular) Boilers
- Electric Boilers
Each type has its unique benefits and is suited to different property sizes and heating needs. Our expert team will guide you through the selection process, ensuring you get the perfect boiler for your London home.
Combi boilers are a popular choice for many households, especially smaller to medium-sized properties. Here’s why:
- Instant Hot Water: Combi boilers heat water directly from the mains, providing hot water on demand without the need for a storage tank.
- Space-Saving Design: With their compact size, combi boilers are ideal for homes where space is at a premium.
- Energy Efficiency: These boilers only heat the water you use, making them highly efficient for smaller households.
- Smart Control Integration: Many modern combi boilers can be integrated with smart home systems for precise temperature control.
However, combi boilers may have limitations in high-demand scenarios, such as multiple showers running simultaneously. Our team will assess your home’s needs to determine if a combi boiler is the right fit.
Installation Process:
- Site assessment and boiler sizing
- Removal of old boiler (if applicable)
- Installation of new combi boiler
- System flushing and water treatment
- Controls setup and system testing
System boilers are excellent for larger homes with higher hot water demands. Key features include:
- Hot Water Cylinder: Stores hot water for distribution to multiple outlets simultaneously.
- High Demand Capability: Ideal for properties with multiple bathrooms or high hot water usage.
- Solar Thermal Compatibility: Can be easily integrated with solar water heating systems for improved energy efficiency.
- Improved Water Pressure: Provides better water pressure compared to conventional boilers.
Installation Process:
- Assessment of hot water needs and cylinder sizing
- Installation of boiler and hot water cylinder
- Connection to existing pipework or installation of new pipes
- System pressure testing and balancing
- Setup of controls and programmers
System boilers offer scalability, making them suitable for growing families or homes with changing needs.
Conventional boilers, also known as regular or heat-only boilers, are often the best choice for older properties or homes with traditional heating systems.
Key Features:
- Traditional Setup: Works with a cold water tank, hot water cylinder, and feed/expansion tank.
- Large Hot Water Capacity: Excellent for households with high hot water usage.
- Compatibility: Ideal for properties with older radiators and pipework.
- Low Water Pressure Solution: Can work well in areas with low water pressure.
Installation Process:
- Assessment of existing system and property layout
- Installation of boiler and connection to existing tanks
- Upgrade of any outdated components
- System balancing and efficiency optimization
- Setup of controls and thermostats
While conventional boilers require more space for tanks, they offer reliable heating and hot water for larger or older properties.
Electric boilers are an excellent alternative for properties without access to the gas network or in areas with restrictions on gas boiler installations.
Benefits:
- No Gas Connection Required: Ideal for properties off the gas grid.
- Compact and Versatile: Can be installed in various locations due to their small size.
- Quiet Operation: Electric boilers run silently, perfect for open-plan living spaces.
- Eco-Friendly Potential: Can be paired with renewable energy sources like solar PV systems.
Installation Process:
- Assessment of property’s electrical capacity
- Installation of boiler in chosen location
- Connection to electrical supply and existing heating system
- Installation of necessary safety devices
- System testing and control setup
While electric boilers can have higher running costs, they offer a safe and efficient heating solution for many properties.
