There are four main types of gas boilers available. Which you choose depends on a number of factors, such as the size of your house and your specific hot water requirements.
For an easy way to find the most suitable type of boiler for you, try our Product selector tool. A few simple questions will help you decide which boiler you need.
Combi gas boilers
Combi (or combination) boilers are the UK's most popular type of boiler for gas central heating and domestic hot water production.
Easy to install and highly reliable, gas combi boilers are economical on both energy and space. Water is heated instantaneously on opening a hot tap or turning on a shower, so hot water storage tanks or cylinders are not necessary.
The Baxi range of energy efficient gas combi boilers includes the top of the range Baxi Platinum Combi HE A, which comes with a 5 year parts and labour warranty, the compact Baxi Neta-tec Combi GA and the popular Baxi Duo-tec Combi GA.
Heat only gas boilers
Heat only gas boilers work in conjunction with a hot water storage cylinder and cold water top-up tanks in the loft to provide both central heating and hot water.
The high efficiency and compact size of the Baxi Solo HE A make it a natural choice for homes where space is limited.
System gas boilers
Much like heat only gas boilers, system boilers operate using stored hot water, but all the major components of the heating and hot water system, such as the pump and expansion vessel, are already built in - making installation quicker, easier and more efficient.
Unlike regular gas boilers, a system boiler pumps hot water straight through the heating system to the radiators and hot water cylinder. By reducing the amount of time it takes for the home to heat up, running costs are lowered.
The Baxi Megaflo System Compact GA boasts high efficiency and high performance together with excellent environmental credentials.
Back boilers
A back boiler is a small, compact boiler that sits behind an electric fire in the chimney breast and works in conjunction with a hot water storage cylinder to provide both central heating and hot water.
The innovative new condensing Baxi Bermuda BBU HE is the most efficient way to replace an old back boiler. Complying with current legislation, it is the only high efficiency back boiler on the market to serve as a direct replacement. Replacing an old back boiler with a BBU HE, will save you money off your annual fuel bill.
