Combi boilers are great, in very many ways, however there are some times where a combi boiler might not be the best option for your home.
Do you have multiple bathrooms?
Combi boilers can only feed water out to your baths/outlets at mains pressure. This means that if you have several bathrooms which may all need water at the same time, a combi boiler may struggle to feed them all and you will see a drop in pressure. If your property has a low mains pressure, a combi boiler may not be the choice for you.
Want a power shower?
If you have, or want a power shower, you can not install one alongside a combi boiler. A combi boiler has a pump which is built in to the unit and feeds hot water out to your taps on demand. A power shower reauires a separate pump, which takes water from your 'hot water cylinder' and pushes out to your shower at a high flow rate.
Alternatives to a Combi Boiler
If you do have multiple bathrooms and your mains pressure is very poor, you may be better off installing a system boiler, or conventional system. These types of system have a boiler which sits on your wall, or behind your fire, and they then have a separate hot water cylinder which would usually sit on your landing in a cupbaord... the airing cupboard. This cylinder holds hot water and feeds it out to your radiators and multiple outlets.
With so many brands out there, it's often difficult to choose the right combi boiler with the best reputation. Every manufacturer states claims to being the greatest, but, which ones truly do shine through?
If your current combi boiler has broken down unexpectedly and you're going to struggle to stomach the cost of a brand new one at short notice, finance options are becoming extremely popular.
It's like buying a car, you spread the payments over a period of time and this can be as little as 76p a day. Just like a new car, your new boiler will carry a warranty of up to 10 years, so you can rest assured that you'll benefit from a reliable heating system for many years to come.
I needed to replace my old Worcester combi boiler for a more modern equivalent. Three companies got in touch, I got my quotes and I managed to secure a great price.

A friend of mine told me about the website when my old boiler started to leak. I got my quotes as promised and ended up taking out a finance option to stomach the cost.
