The Modern Combi Boiler
If you purchase a house, or even if you rent one, there are a few important things to consider.
One is the sewage system.
Is the house's waste disposed in the main city sewage system or do you have a septic tank? Depending on the amount of people in your family, you may want to make sure the sewage goes to the city system.
If your family is small, it really does not matter, but it is always good to know the size and capability.
Another thing to consider right away is what kind of heating the house provides.
Is there a central heating already installed? Is it working fine and efficiently? Does it use a big storage tank that takes a lot of space in the loft or the basement? Is it electric or fuelled by natural gas or propane? Are there solar panels installed? You should decide how much you want to spend on heating your house and chose accordingly what you think will be the most beneficial, effective and economical system.
In the XX and XXI centuries, most big houses and apartment buildings already have central heating.
It usually consists of a boiler fuelled by natural gas, propane or electricity that heats water and stores it in a bulky hot water tank.
From it emerges a set of pipelines that bring the hot water to radiators in different locations of the house.
It is convenient, as you can regulate the temperature of the room by turning the radiator on or off.
Households that don't have gas central heating, recur to the extended variety of products and models of portable heaters existing in the market.
Electric heaters consist of a resistance or coil that heats the air and expands it around the room.
There are the static ones and the air blowing ones.
The latter ones use a lot of Watts and can be costly in the long run.
The static heaters are more economical.
Propane gas heaters are economical and efficient, and they succeed in warming up a room quite fast, but they have their dangers if left close to some inflammable fabric or if used in an unventilated room.
The fireplace is usually a favourite addition to any household.
It is convenient if you have a good supply of wood.
It gives your home that "distinct" ambiance and homey feeling, specially for a newly married couple.
And then, there is the combination boiler, or "combi boiler" that has made itself a place in about 70% of the European households in the last 10 or 15 years.
Unlike the traditional boiler -that needs a bulky hot water storage tank or a cold water feed tank and lots of pipes and elements, the combi boiler does not require any of that.
Just to be connected to the mains cold water supply and to natural gas or propane.
The combi heats the water directly from the mains and delivers instant water to the faucet or the radiator.
It can be used to heat the house and to supply hot water.
It is energy friendly and money saving and the competitive combi boiler prices makes it the perfect choice when considering all the other alternatives.
