Wall-mounted boiler energy storage

What is a wall mounted gas condensing boiler?

Wall mounted gas condensing boilers are particularly suitable for use in new buildings and small apartments. These extremely compact appliances can fit in virtually any space. They are used either solely for DHW heating or for space heating as well. In the case of the latter, they are referred to as combi boilers.

What is a storage combi boiler?

Storage combi boiler = Combi boiler with storage tank for hot water. A standard combi boiler draws cold water directly from the mains supply, heating it on demand (when you turn on a tap or shower). Storage combi boilers also draw cold water from the mains supply, but hot water is fed from the internal tank. The boiler then refills it is used.

Are storage combi boilers floor standing or wall mounted?

Traditionally, storage combi boilers were all floor standing models. However, you can now take your pick from designs of this kind as well as a variety of more compact wall mounted appliances.

They’re also much more efficient. According to the U.S. Department of Energy they typically increase efficiency by about 24-34 percent.

What is a gas condensing boiler & solar thermal system?

The combination of gas condensing boiler and solar thermal system has proven to be very ecological and economical. In this configuration, the solar thermal system is responsible for DHW heating using the free solar energy. This means that the gas boiler does not have to do so much work. This also reduces heating costs.
