For this reason, as part of our boiler installations Southampton services, we are delighted to offer a magnificent variety of regular and system boilers.  

Regular boilers are known by a variety of names, including conventional, heat-only, and open-vent. They’re the most common type of heating system, and they’re commonly found in older homes.

Boilers vs Water Heaters  

One of the most important things that homeowners need to have in their homes is hot running water. It’s a must-have for everyday tasks such as cooking, bathing, and washing. As a result, your home needs an efficient water heating system, such as a boiler or a water heater. We at Gasworks are here to show you how these two water heating systems differ.  

First of all, because a boiler does not really boil water, the term is a little misleading. A boiler converts water to steam and can be used heat your home and water. Moreover, boilers, like hot water heaters, heat water fast and come in tanked and tankless models. However, some boiler systems, unlike hot water heaters, have a hot water storage cylinder. As mentioned above, there are different types of boilers, such as combi boilers, regular boilers, and system boilers.  

When it comes to water heaters, they are more straightforward than boilers since they only have one function: to heat water. This water is then utilised in showers, washing machines, dishwashers, and other applications. In addition to that, they do away with the need for a hot water cylinder and provide a space-saving, cost-effective solution that only heats the water you require. Here at Gasworks, our water heaters are available with a balanced flue or a fan flue. 

Whether it is boilers you need or water heaters, we deal with a variety of top manufacturers with installers and are authorised stockists for them at Gasworks. 

Radiators 

A radiator is one of the most crucial components of your central heating system, and even a little malfunction can have a significant influence on the entire system. As a result, you must be careful while selecting radiators. There are a variety of sizes and types to choose from, and it’s vital to think about the size of the space you’ll be heating. 

Here at Gasworks, classic single and double radiators, designer panel radiators, convector radiators, traditional cast iron radiators, and chrome towel rails are all available from us. Our specialists can assist you in determining which sort of radiator would be most successful in each area of your home, as well as where they would be most beneficial. 

Furthermore, we partner with reputable manufacturers to guarantee that your radiators endure a long time and operate effectively. Our experts will also ensure that your radiators are properly sized for easy installation. 

Controls  

After you’ve invested time and money in finding the finest boiler or central heating system for your home, you’ll want to make sure it’s running at peak efficiency to save money on energy bills. Installing controls to ensure you are only utilising your system when necessary is one of the simplest methods to accomplish this. 

At Gasworks, we have three different types of controls that you can install, and they are timers and programmes, programmable room thermostat, and thermostatic radiator valves.  

Programmable Room Thermostat 

By utilising this thermostat control, you will be able to control the temperature in every one of your rooms throughout the day. These settings keep the temperature consistent throughout the house, and instead of heating the entire house at once, your system may just top up the heat. 

Cylinders  

As previously mentioned, a cylinder will be required whether you have a regular or system boiler to hold hot water for baths, showers, or your kitchen. There are a variety of cylinders to select from, and the best one for you will depend on your flat’s setup, free space, and everyday water usage. There are two main types of cylinders: vented and unvented.  

Vented and Unvented  

When it comes to selecting a cylinder, the most frequent variety is a vented cylinder. They are the conventional alternative, as they have been around for decades and were initially made of copper owing to the material’s excellent heat conductivity. Vented cylinders, which are now available in copper and stainless steel, store and heat water that is directly obtained from a storage tank.  

Because the storage tank in the loft is placed higher than the vented cylinder, it gives a natural gravitational pull of water to the system, allowing it to supply hot water to all of the pipe outlets throughout the house. Such cylinders are the most cost-effective alternative because they are simple to install and maintain. 

On the other hand, an unvented hot water cylinder varies from a vented cylinder in that it supplies mains pressure hot water straight from the cold mains rather than tank pressure water. The cold water is drawn straight from the main water supply and heated by the appropriate heat source for the cylinder type. With an unvented cylinder, the flow of water to showers and baths typically performs better. They are more costly, but they have advantages like not using gravity to transfer hot water, making them perfect for smaller houses.
