A boiler is arguably the single most important home appliance in a part of the world that gets as bitterly cold as the UK. A boiler\u2019s basic principle is to transfer heat to water. In essence, it works by heating water, which then pumps throughout your house. However, this is just a rudimentary description of how boilers work. The inner workings can get so much more complex when you look at different types of boilers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this blog, we will explain how different types of boilers work. But first, let\u2019s discuss the operation process shared by all boilers. So hoe<\/p>\n

As previously stated, a boiler must first generate heat (during the \u201ccombustion process\u201d) before it can transfer heat to water. However, different boilers generate that heat using different fuel sources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A boiler generates heat by burning one of these three fuel sources:<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t When a gas boiler receives a call from the thermostat, it ignites gas and oxygen within a \u201ccombustion chamber\u201d to generate heat. The heat from the burning gas warms up the \u201cheat exchanger\u201d\u2014a web of copper piping that transfers the heat to water. Gas boilers are the most common type of boilers in the UK<\/a> and are typically less expensive to install and run than oil and electric boilers.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tGas boilers<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
