Boiler

A gas, oil, or heat pump unit that heats water for space heating (via radiators or underfloor heating) and domestic hot water. Gas boilers must be installed and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Adding an extension increases the heated area and may require a boiler upgrade or system balancing to maintain adequate heat output.
