Difference Between Combination And Condensing Grand Prairie Boilers

By Gregory Gray


Many people are confused about combination boilers, condensing boilers and condensing combination heaters. Many think that both of the heaters are the same, but there is a huge difference between them. Today I am going to give the complete details of combination heaters, condensing boilers and condensing combination Grand Prairie Boilers and differentiate them.

With an annual boiler service one of the most important checks is the flue pipe, this has to be checked to make sure all joints and seals are not leaking carbon monoxide or products of combustion into the room the boiler is located in.

The good thing now though is that all new heaters are highly efficient condensing heaters and they should save you somewhere around 35% on your fuels bills, that's a big saving, compared to the old heaters. So when it comes to replacing your boiler you will start to save on the running costs. Today there are many types of heaters to choose from, you have heat only heaters, which are open vented, where you still keep the small tank in the loft, the water is still heated via a storage tank.

Then you have system boilers which works on high pressure, the tank in the loft is removed and the system is pressurized. This type of boiler is a little better on the efficiency side due to there is no heat loss through the expansion pipe. The water is still heated via the storage tank. Now we come to the most popular of boilers and that is the combination boiler. For those people who don't know what a combination boilers is, let me explain.

The expansion vessel will over time will lose pressure and will need to be recharged to keep the boiler working to its full efficiently. The expansion vessel is a very important part of the annual boiler service that needs to be checked. Once the vessel loses the charge it puts pressure on the pump, the internal water parts and the entire O rings within the boiler.

Condensing heaters: These are the most energy efficient heaters presently available in the market. These types of heaters are 93% energy efficient saving your energy bills and saving the environment. They use the similar technology used in conventional heaters, but the main different is that, condensing heaters reduces the heat from the flue gases from approximately 300 degrees to 50 degrees, condensing out the vapor produced by combustion of the fuels. In condensing heaters the heat exchanger is bit larger or there may be a second heat exchanger which hunts down the heat which is not recovered by the main heat exchanger.

Replacing your boiler can be a little stressful not knowing which boiler to choose and any improvements that need to be done. Any new gas boiler that is installed today has to by law be registered, so the days of asking the guy down the road to replace your boiler are over, unless he is gas safe registered.

Condensing Combination heaters: Condensing combination boiler is mixer of condensing and combination heaters. It uses the both technologies of condensing and combination becoming the most energy efficient heaters in the market at the moment. They do not require any hot water tank or cylinder like condensing heaters. But the mail disadvantage of using them is its price. They are more expensive than condensing heaters.
