A combi (combination) boiler provides both central heating and instant hot water from a single compact unit, without needing a separate hot water cylinder. It heats water directly from the mains when you turn on a tap. Combi boilers are ideal for smaller homes with one bathroom, while larger properties with multiple bathrooms may benefit from a system boiler with a hot water cylinder.

How long do heat pumps last?

The longevity of heat pumps can help offset higher initial installation costs compared to traditional boilers. Regular professional servicing helps ensure your heat pump maintains its efficiency and reaches its full lifespan.

Why do I have no hot water from my boiler?

Common causes include low boiler pressure, frozen condensate pipe, faulty timer or thermostat, gas or electricity supply issues, or a stuck diverter valve. Check for fault codes on the boiler display and verify that your gas and electricity supplies are working. For hot water cylinders, ensure the temperature is set to a minimum of 60°C.

How do I repressurise my boiler?

Switch off the boiler and allow it to cool. Locate the filling loop and pressure gauge. Open both filling loop valves to allow water into the system while watching the gauge. Allow water to flow for approximately 10 seconds until pressure reaches 1.5 bar, then close both valves fully. Restart the boiler and check the pressure remains stable.

How do I maintain my heat pump?

Regularly check the outdoor unit to ensure it is clear of debris such as leaves and is not frozen over. Ice buildup should trigger an automatic defrost cycle. For any issues with refrigerant, leaks, or continuous operation in summer, contact a qualified heat pump technician. Professional servicing should be carried out annually.
