Boilers for Large Homes — 2025 Recommendations
Large homes (4+ bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms) need more from their boiler. Here's what to consider.
Combi vs System for Large Homes
For homes with high simultaneous hot water demand (e.g., two showers running at once), a system boiler with a large unvented cylinder is usually better. System boilers deliver hot water at mains pressure to every outlet simultaneously.
