Tankless vs. Combi Boilers: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the difference between these two systems can help you choose the best solution for your home or business:

Tankless Water Heaters:

  • Provide on-demand hot water without the need for a storage tank.
  • More energy-efficient as they only heat water when needed.
  • Ideal for homes with limited space.
  • Reduce standby energy loss.

Combi Boilers:

  • Combine heating and hot water functions into one compact unit.
  • Perfect for smaller homes or apartments.
  • Provide consistent hot water and space heating simultaneously.
  • Highly efficient, reducing energy bills.
