When it comes to system boilers, you also need to remember that as well as the boiler itself, a hot water cylinder is needed too. The cylinder is essential when having a system boiler installed as it stores the hot water – ready to deliver to the hot water taps as and when you need it.
How much does a hot water cylinder cost?
System boilers need an unvented hot water cylinder to store the hot water which can cost from £450 up to around £1,000.
Two of the leading unvented hot water cylinder manufacturers include Heatra Sadia and Worcester Bosch.
These best 32kW system boilers all run on natural gas, which isn't a suitable fuel for properties of the gas network. Fortunately, a couple of the best 32kW system boilers are LPG compatible.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a type of gas that can be stored onsite, which means that you don't need to be connected to the gas network.
