What is a combi storage boiler?

A combi storage boiler is a variant of the combi boiler type; this is a popular way of heating homes and providing hot water.

Like a regular combi boiler, a combi storage boiler can provide central heating as well as instant hot water to the hot taps. They usually fit neatly inside an airing cupboard or similar space, making them great space-savers in smaller homes and less obvious than a wall-hanging boiler.

Another benefit of this kind of boiler is that the hot water is not just delivered continuously, but is delivered at mains pressure. Combination storage boilers are a little different in a few ways, but these differences make it unique in the boiler range. The problems of flow rate, found in regular combi boilers, are overcome with the storage boiler. A few taps can be used at the same time, without a drop in flow.

The combination storage boiler is basically a combi boiler with an added storage tank. This means that hot water never runs out, and so you do not have to wait for the water to reheat after running a bath before someone else can have a shower. This is great for a big family, or for those sick of having to plan their time in the shower or bath around when the water will eventually heat up.

The combi storage boiler is therefore a great way to overcome the problems of the combi boiler and to provide hot water and heating to your home. There are disadvantages and advantages, as with every kind of boiler, but it makes for a reliable hot water and central heating solution if kept properly maintained.
