There are lots of good reasons for a gas boiler installation and replacement, from the modernization of designs to energy efficiency and lower fuel bills. There are other things to consider, however, that property owners need professional advice on, including the right size, space dimension, or expert industry knowledge on safe and secure installation practices.
Choosing the Right Gas Boiler Size
The first step you need to complete is to decide on the right boiler size you will need. You can figure it out by measuring the square footage of your home, how many people are in it, and how much water you use (check your monthly water bill). A family of four in a home will use much more than a couple who lives in an apartment. Think of what is best suited for your household.
- For a small place, a 24 to 27kW output is most ideal. Combi gas boilers are perfect for places that have tight spaces as there is no hot water cylinder to worry about.
- A medium residence would likely require a 28 to 34kW gas boiler output.
- Large or semi-detached homes tend to need a 35 to 42kW gas boiler output.
