What is a LPG Boiler?

Although they work very similarly to standard gas boilers, LPG boilers are powered by liquid petroleum gas from a storage tank — not the gas mains.

 

When looking for a boiler, you will have the option of a dedicated LPG boiler or a natural gas boiler modified using a conversion kit.

 

An LPG boiler needs a safe and well maintained storage tank to work properly, which in turn needs to be supplied with LPG to use as fuel. The LPG will then be burned in the boiler, providing heat and hot water to your home.

What are the benefits of an LPG boiler?


If your home isn’t connected to the gas mains, LPG boilers have a great number of benefits. For starters, LPGs have a high density, so you can keep a large amount of this fuel in a relatively small space.

 

LPG boilers mean you can have a high efficiency model even when you are not connected to the mains. They also produce less carbon emissions than other alternative fuels such as oil, meaning they offer a more environmentally friendly central heating solution. They’re also often quieter than oil-burning boilers while running, too.

Combi Boiler

A Combination or ‘Combi’ boiler is both a high efficiency water heater and a central heating boiler in a single compact unit. Combi boilers heat water directly from the mains when you turn on a tap, so you won’t need a hot water storage cylinder or a cold water storage tank in the roof space. 

Detailed below is the benefits:

  • Compact sizes make combi boilers perfect for smaller properties
  • Ideal where there is little or no loft space
  • No need for a hot water cylinder allows increased living space
  • No cold water storage tank frees up a loft for conversion
  • No risk of loft pipework freezing
  • Less pipework in the home makes installation typically cheaper

Regular Boiler

Regular boilers (sometimes known as traditional, conventional, heat only or back boilers) are ideally suited to homes that already have a traditional heating and hot water system which is linked to a separate hot water cylinder. These boilers also need a cold water storage tank in the loft to feed the hot water cylinder as well as a tank that maintains the water level of the central heating system. 

Detailed below is the benefits:

 

  • Perfect for homes where a lot of hot water is used at the same time
  • Ideal where there are two or more bathrooms
  • A good option in areas where water pressure is low
  • Compatible with solar water heating systems for a lower carbon footprint and lower energy costs

System Boiler

System boilers require a cylinder for storing hot water, however the major heating and hot water system components are built into the boiler itself, making it quicker and easier to install. In addition, there is no need for a tank in the loft, so it can be an option in a home with little or no loft space or where the space is earmarked for a conversion. 

Detailed below is the benefits:

  • Ideal for homes with more than one bathroom
  • Constant supply of hot water to any number of taps at the same time
  • No need for a loft tank, freeing up space and eliminating worries about leaks or frost damage
  • Economical to run
  • Built-in components makes installation quicker and neater
