What is a Conventional Boiler?
A conventional boiler, also known as a regular or heat-only boiler, is a traditional heating system that has been trusted in homes for decades. It works by using both a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank, typically located in the loft. The conventional boiler heats water and stores it in the hot water storage cylinder, ready for use.
Conventional boilers are ideal for larger homes with higher hot water demands, especially those with multiple bathrooms. This system can supply hot water to various taps and showers at the same time without losing pressure or temperature, making it perfect for busy households.

How Do Conventional Boilers Work?
A conventional boiler system requires a feed tank (for cold water) and an expansion tank (to manage pressure), both typically stored in the loft. Here’s how it works as part of your central heating system:
- Cold Water Supply: Water from the mains is first stored in the cold water tank in the loft.
- Heating Process: The boiler heats the water and sends it to the hot water cylinder, where it’s stored until needed.
- Hot Water Delivery: The stored hot water is then distributed to your taps, showers, and radiators, providing a consistent flow of hot water and heating throughout your home.
Because of its robust design, a conventional boiler can cope with high hot water demands, making it a popular choice for homes with multiple occupants and bathrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Conventional Boiler Installation
Here is our frequently asked questions, find answers below or get in touch.
Conventional boiler installations typically take 2 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the job and whether additional work, such as upgrading pipework, is required.
Conventional boilers are best suited for homes with high hot water demand, especially those with multiple bathrooms. If you have an older heating system, a conventional boiler may be the easiest replacement option.
The size of your hot water cylinder depends on your household’s hot water needs. Larger households may require a larger cylinder to ensure an adequate supply of hot water.
Yes, it’s important to have your conventional boiler serviced annually to maintain its efficiency and catch any potential issues early.
Yes, you can replace your old boiler with a conventional boiler, also known as a regular or heat-only boiler. However, it’s important to consider a few factors before making this decision:
- Existing Heating System: If your current setup already includes a conventional boiler with a hot water cylinder and cold water storage tanks, replacing it with another conventional boiler is typically straightforward. The installation may be less disruptive since the existing pipework and components are already in place.
- Space Requirements: Conventional boilers require more space than other types of boilers, such as combi boilers, as they need both a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank. If you have limited space, you might want to explore alternatives like a combi boiler, which doesn’t need extra tanks.
- Water Demand: If you have a large household with high water demand (multiple bathrooms, for example), a conventional boiler can be a good choice, as it can supply hot water to multiple taps simultaneously without reducing the water pressure.
- Efficiency: While conventional boilers are reliable, modern combi and system boilers tend to be more energy-efficient. If you’re replacing your old boiler to improve energy efficiency, you might want to consider these alternatives.
Cost of Installation: Installing a conventional boiler may be more expensive than a combi boiler, especially if you’re switching from another type of boiler and need additional components like tanks.
