HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT SORT OF BOILER IS IN MY PROPERTY?

To find out what type of boiler you have in your property, follow these steps:

Check the Manufacturer’s Plate or Manual

  • Locate the Manufacturer’s Plate: This is usually found on the boiler itself, often on the front, side, or inside a panel. It should provide details about the make, model, and type of boiler.
  • Read the Manual: If you have the user manual or installation manual for your boiler, it should specify the type of boiler and its features.

Identify the Boiler Type by Appearance and Function

Boilers generally fall into three main categories: Combi, System, and Conventional (Regular). Here’s how to distinguish them:

Combi Boiler (Combination Boiler)

  • No Hot Water Cylinder: Combi boilers do not have a separate hot water storage cylinder. They heat water directly from the mains.
  • Compact Size: They are typically smaller and wall-mounted, often found in kitchens or airing cupboards.
  • Instant Hot Water: Provides hot water on demand without the need for a storage tank.

System Boiler

  • Hot Water Cylinder: System boilers have a separate hot water storage cylinder but no cold water tank.
  • Built-In Components: They include components such as a pump and expansion vessel within the boiler unit itself.
  • Central Heating and Hot Water: They provide both central heating and hot water, often used in homes with higher hot water demands.

Conventional Boiler (Regular or Heat-Only Boiler)

  • Separate Tanks: Conventional boilers have both a hot water storage cylinder and a cold water storage tank, usually located in the loft.
  • Multiple Components: These systems typically involve more components like a feed and expansion cistern, and may take up more space.
  • Ideal for Larger Homes: Suitable for homes with high hot water demand and multiple bathrooms.

Observe the Heating System Components

  • Hot Water Cylinder: If you have a hot water storage cylinder (often found in an airing cupboard), you likely have a System or Conventional boiler.
  • Cold Water Tank: If you have a cold water tank in the loft, it indicates a Conventional boiler system.
  • No Separate Tanks: If there are no separate tanks and the boiler is providing hot water directly, you have a Combi boiler.

Examine the Control Panel

  • Combi Boilers: Usually have simple controls for heating and hot water temperature.
  • System Boilers: May have more advanced controls and settings for managing the hot water storage cylinder.
  • Conventional Boilers: Often come with more complex controls due to the involvement of multiple components.

Consult a Professional

If you’re still unsure, you can always consult us at Zenith Eco Solutions, as we should be able to identify the boiler type and provide you with information about its specifications and capabilities.

By following these steps, you should be able to determine the type of boiler installed in your property, and, should that boiler be eligible for an upgrade via the Government Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we would be happy to assist.
