A combination boiler is where the boiler handles central heating and instantaneous hot water requirements without needing external tanks or cylinders. Just add radiators. Conventional boilers are merely a gas/water heat exchanger, the water from which is then routed using external controls to radiators and hot water heat exchangers (eg: a cylinder). For a more detailed explanation, see our boiler installation page.
