Combi Boiler

A combination boiler that provides both central heating and instant hot water from a single wall-mounted unit, without needing a separate hot water cylinder or cold water tank. Combis are efficient and space-saving but may struggle to supply multiple simultaneous hot water outlets at adequate pressure in larger homes. Extensions adding bathrooms may push demand beyond a combi's capacity.
