Key takeaway
What Are Boiler & Heating Systems?
A boiler is the heart of your home or business heating system. It heats water that is then circulated through radiators and taps to keep your property warm and provide hot water on demand.
A well-designed heating system brings together the boiler, controls, radiators and pipework so they work efficiently as one. Getting the balance right keeps you comfortable while keeping running costs down.
