    The document discusses considerations for choosing a new central heating system for a home. It covers the main types of boilers - system boilers, regular boilers, and combi boilers. All new gas boilers must be high-efficiency condensing models. Fuel type, home connections, and property setup must also be considered. Traditionally, central heating systems couple hot water supply to the boiler and storage tank, but decentralized systems that heat water directly at points of use are more efficient, avoiding losses from long pipe runs and storage tanks.

    Hot water supply ( Boiler & stuff ).

    When it comes to choosing a new boiler or central heating system for your home, there are
    plenty of considerations to make before going ahead with an installation. Not only is the type of
    boiler itself important, but you also need to think about the central heating system as a whole
    and the type of fuel you want to use to power your home.

    A central heating system needs to be adequate for your home’s needs, without being oversized
    as this can lead to wasted energy (and of course money). You should consider things like the
    number of occupants in your property, if you will need to use multiple showers or taps at once
    and the kind of space available. Our guide covers the three most common types of boiler and
    central heating options; system boilers, regular boilers and combi boilers. Any new gas boiler
    you have installed will be a condensing boiler model. This is because government legislation
    states that all new gas-central heating boilers must be a high efficiency condensing boiler.

    Fuel type is another big consideration you will need to make when it comes to choosing your
    home’s new heating system. There are plenty of factors that can affect your decision, including
    your home’s connection to gas & power grids, if you want to use renewable energy sources and
    the kind of space and setup of your property itself.

    The given diagram shows how a central heating system of a house works. As is observed from
    the illustration, the central heating machine comprises several mechanical aspects and forms a
    complex system.

    According to the given illustration, for the central heating machine to work the cold water supply
    is required and this water flows to the storage tank and the overflow pipe is there to store the
    excess water in storage. The water is passed through a boiler which is either gas or oil driven
    and a pump is connected with it. The radiators are connected with the boiler and these radiators
    are made of small tubes. When the cold water passes through the pump and boiler, it gains
    temperatures and become hot water and from the water taps, the house members get hot
    water. Thus the whole system that covers the house keeps it warm.

    In summary, the central heating system mainly works by flowing water through the house and
    increasing the temperature of it.

    Coupling the hot water supply to the central heating system is still very common. Water is
    heated in a central tank and then transported to the various points-of-use through an additional
    pipe system. Due to hygienic requirements, the water must be preheated to at least 60 °C when
    it flows through long pipes. The temperature is then reduced by mixing in cold water at the tap.
    This may make sense in old buildings with a high heating demand but for renovations and new
    buildings, which use the lower temperature range, providing, storing and transporting of hot
    water at 60 °C means high energy losses

    In decentralised systems, the hot water supply is separated from the heating system. Electric
    instant water heaters meet the specific requirements for each application if installed directly at
    the various points-of-use. The hot water is available without any lead times. Only the required
    amount of water is heated. Additional pipe systems are not necessary. There is also no need for
    circulation pumps and hot water tanks, which saves installation and operation costs. The small
    units allow for a “hidden” installation in wall nooks or behind panelling. The central heating
    system can now be adjusted precisely to the requirements of the building and be turned off
    completely during the summer.
