Boilers that are over ten years old waste a lot of valuable energy. in terms of cost and environment impact, in fact many older boilers convert as little as 60% of the fuel they use into heat and they can breakdown more frequently.

What are Hydrogen-Ready Boilers?
A hydrogen-ready boiler is supposed to be the future of the UK’s heating system, created as a response to increasing global warming and the use of natural gas for almost every heat and energy need in the country. Using hydrogen gas, these boilers are more eco-friendly but can still use the same gas network and infrastructure.
In terms of how they work, they are just like any non-hydrogen boiler you might already own: they take hydrogen fuel and use it to power the central heating system, as well as providing you with hot water on a regular basis. What you will also find is that most best combi boilers are also hydrogen ready such as the Viessmann 100-W 2021 model.
Internally, hydrogen boiler is more or less identical to that gas boilers, with only a few extra parts specific to using pure hydrogen fuel. This means that existing heating systems can use them, as can the whole gas network that your home may already be using.
Heat pumps are a tool that is already used to help manage home heating, pumping heat from one place (such as a garden) to the water system of your home. While these can supplement a new heating system and offer good energy efficiency, proper hydrogen boilers are still more effective overall.
This is because a hydrogen-ready boiler can be installed just like a normal gas boiler. If every home in the country could switch to a hydrogen boiler at once, then the entire infrastructure could change without issue. Hydrogen production is a form of renewable energy generation, so linking it to central heating could prevent a massive percentage of carbon emissions from residential homes.
A decent hydrogen boiler acts like any other gas boilers: it provides heating and hot water. The main difference is the lack of carbon emissions and the low-carbon heating, as well as the higher overall efficiency on offer.

Different boiler types
Combination (combi) boilers
‘Combi’ is short for combination, because the boiler does two things in combination. It heats water and provides central heating to your home.
Combi boilers heat water as you draw it from the tap. They don’t need a water storage tank because the boiler’s connected directly to the water mains, heating water as it’s needed.
Homes which suit combi boilers
Combi boilers are cost effective and energy efficient, with a compact size that’s ideal for smaller properties where space is limited. Because there’s no need for a water storage tank or a hot water cylinder, a combi boiler can free up space for conversion, storage and living.
System boilers
System boilers – also known as sealed system boilers – need a water cylinder to store hot water, which usually sits in an airing cupboard.
In a system boiler, the heating and water systems are built into the boiler itself – there is no need for a water tank like you would need for a regular boiler system.
Homes which suit system boilers
System boilers are ideal for homes with more than one bathroom, and can give a constant supply of hot water to any number of taps at the same time.
Regular boilers (open vent)
Regular boilers – sometimes known as open vent, heat only or gravity-fed boilers, provide central heating and hot water through a hot water storage cylinder, often found in an airing cupboard, and cold water tank usually found in the loft.
Homes which suit open vent boilers
If your home has multiple bathrooms, open vent boilers are perfect as they can provide a lot of hot water at the same time. Open vent boilers work well if you are replacing an old open vent heating system, and are ideal if water pressure is low in your area.

Fixing a leak in the bathroom.
“Following excellent work by Antonio installing new radiators throughout my property previously, when I had a leak in the bathroom I knew who to call. Antonio visited the property promptly and assessed that I actually had 2 leaks which were identified quickly and stopped. The leak caused some damage to the tiles and furniture so I decided to replace all the floor tiles and most of the bathroom suite. The work was completed efficiently I was kept up to date throughout. I would highly recommend Antonio, thanks again!”
