Types of boilers - which boiler is best for your home
Combination boilers (Combi)
Combination boilers (or combi boilers as they are more commonly called) are the most common boiler in the UK. They provide the convenience of instant hot water on demand and heating with no need for water tanks or cylindersat any time.
Pros
- you get unlimited heat and hot water when you need it
- there's no need for a cylinder in your aring cupboard
- there's no need for a tank in you loft
- they don't take up much space
Cons
- the water pressure might be reduced if you need hot water from more that one tap at a time
Heat only (Conventional) boilers
Heat only or conventional boilers also known as open vented or regular boilers - have both a cylinder and a tank. Hot water stored via a cylinder normally housed in an airing cupboard or boiler room and tanks located in the loft, heating is supplied pumped frm the boiler via a circulating pump and valves normally in your aring cupboard.
Pros
- you get hot water from multiple taps at the same time
- you can have backup hot water from an electric immersion heater
Cons
- the hot water can run out and you'll have to wait for it to reheat
- you need to find room for the cylinder and tank
System boilers
System boilers also known as sealed system, just like a regular (conventional) boiler works on the principle of using a storage hot water cyilnder but no tanks in the loft as the heating and hot water systems are pressurised. Installation is quicker, neater, easier and more efficient. Faster heat output response and more economical running costs.
Pros
- there's no need for a tank in your loft
- you can get hot water from multiple taps at the same time
- you can have backup hot water from an electric immersion heater
Cons
- the hot water can run out and you'll have to wait for it to reheat
- you need to find room for the cylinder somewhere
Condensing boilers
Condensing boilers arn't strictly a boiler type - instead it's an attribute your boiler can have, e.g. you can have a condensing combi boiler or condensing conventional boiler.
Condensing boilers are very energy efficient because they capture some of the heat which would escape from the flue of a non-condensing boiler and re-use it. This means they get more heatfro mthe same amount of fuel, which will save you money on your heating bills.
All new boilers have had to be condensing since 2005.
Energy-efficient boilers
All new boilers are energy-efficient - since 2010 all new boilers must be A-rated for energy efficiency, or at least 88% efficient.
The energy efficiency rating system for boilers is called SEDBUK (Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK). All boilers are assessed and given a rating to help you pick a boiler that is energy-efficient, or see how efficient your existing boiler is.

Colette Lewis Trethomas
They came recommended and didn’t disappoint! Had a new Worcester boiler, pipe work and new radiator and even put a cupboard up! Arrived on time, left no mess and did a great job. Will be passing on the recommendation and wouldn’t hesitate to use again, thanks both!
Darren Farr CAERPHILLY
Chris and the team fitted my new heating system. Excellent job, very professional, clean and tidy and health and safety compliant with the COVID restrictions. If you are looking for work to be done on your property you will not find a better company that this. Highly recommend.
Suzanne Whiting Bedwas
I would highly recommend Chris and his team. They are very professional and nothing is too much trouble. They fitted a new downstairs toilet and checked with me at every stage about fixtures and fittings and it was completed to a very high standard. I would highly recommend them. Thank you, a very happy customer!
Darren Barry
Chris gives value for money on the services his team offer. What makes TPS stand out is attention to detail. I’d recommend Truscon Property Services for any level of building work
John - Hendredenny Caerphilly
A big thankyou to Chris and the Truscon team. They transformed our 1970's small toilet room and separate bathroom into a seemingly more spacious modern bathroom.Their works included building works, plastering walls and ceilings,tiling,plumbing and electrics all done in a highly professional manner. The works were started and completed at the agreed times and dates.We are very pleased with the results!
Christine Cardiff
Truscon have already been working with us for the last almost 2 years on a huge renovation so had no hesitation in asking him to do a smaller job on a property in Cardiff. Another great job thanks Chris & Mike!
Paul and Carol Machen
The first thing I should say is that Truscon undertook a very complicated renovation project that many builders were simply incapable of doing. Chris and his excellent and friendly team not only took it on but did absolutely everything that was required in a highly organised, professional and skilful manner with due observance to current building regulations and careful consideration regarding our needs and requirements. Truscon, refreshingly, have the highest regard for customer care and Continue Reading

Howard and Sharon Caerphilly
Having been fully satisfied with a recent boiler installation undertaken by Truscon, we had no hesitation in asking them to quote for a complete Bathroom refit. We were not disappointed, their price was very competitive, and Chris provided lots of very useful advice regarding the design, and what best to purchase. We decided to ask Truscon to proceed with the installation. The work started at 8.30 am on the designated Monday, and was completed over Continue Reading

I have nothing but praise to offer regarding the work undertaken by Truscon to replace our old inefficient gas back boiler with a new combi boiler. From the outset, Chris gave sound advice regarding a suitable location for the new boiler, followed by a promptly delivered quotation with a choice of 3 boilers. When asked, Chris gave further advise on the best choice of boiler, and it wasn't the most expensive one. On the day Continue Reading
