Suits older homes
A sensible match for traditional properties with existing feed tanks.
Also known as conventional or heat-only boilers, a proven choice for traditional systems, older homes and properties with high hot-water demand.
A regular boiler, sometimes called a conventional or heat-only boiler, works with a hot-water cylinder and a cold-water feed tank, usually in the loft. It’s often the natural choice when a home already has this type of system in place.
Regular boilers suit larger, older properties and homes with lower mains pressure or very high hot-water demand. If you’re replacing an existing heat-only boiler, keeping the same system type is frequently the simplest and most cost-effective route. If you would rather free up some space, ask us about switching to a combi or a system boiler instead.

Yes, traditionally they use a cold-water feed and expansion tank, usually in the loft, plus a hot-water cylinder. This is part of what distinguishes them from system boilers.
Modern regular boilers are high-efficiency condensing units and meet the same efficiency standards as other boiler types. Efficiency also depends on good controls and a well-insulated cylinder.
