Why choose a system boiler for my Old Town home?

System boilers are ideal for larger historic medieval buildings properties in Old Town with 2+ bathrooms. They store hot water in a cylinder, allowing you to run multiple showers and taps simultaneously without losing pressure.

How much space does a system boiler need?

A system boiler needs wall space for the boiler unit plus an airing cupboard for the hot water cylinder. Many historic medieval buildings properties in Old Town already have suitable cupboard space from a previous conventional system.

Can a system boiler work with solar panels?
