Combi Boiler Vs. Water Heater

Perhaps you have also wondered if a combi boiler is better or a water heater? As you know, both combi boiler and water heater devices are used to heat the water of the house, but each has its advantages and disadvantages, but the biggest difference between these two devices is in their operation.

The water heater is only responsible for providing hot water for washing and bathing, while the combi boiler produces both hot water and heats the house. In this post we will examine the advantages, disadvantages, and differences between the combi boiler and the water heater. So stay with us.

What is the Difference Between a Combi Boiler and a Water Heater?

Due to the wider use of the combi boiler compared to the water heater, many people are more willing to buy the combi boiler, but based on your conditions and type of need, buying a water heater may be a better choice for you. In the following, we will mention some of the differences between the combi boiler and the water heater.

The Price Difference of Combi Boilers and Water Heaters

Price is one of the most important factors for choosing the necessary appliances for most buyers. Generally, wall-mounted water heaters have a lower price compared to tank water heaters, and combi boilers have a higher price than all models of water heaters.

The reason for this price difference is the difference in the performance of these two devices.

The Performance of Combi Boilers Compared to Water Heaters

The combi boiler is capable of heating the water of the environment heating system (radiators) in addition to producing the required hot water, which makes the combi boiler more usable than the water heater.

This is while the water heater only has the ability to heat the water consumption. Therefore, if you choose a water heater, you must use a heater or other methods for home heating.

The Space Occupied by the Combi Boiler Vs. the Water Heater

The combi boiler not only offers more efficiency compared to the water heater, but it also occupies less space in the home compared to tank water heaters; so it usually fits easily in kitchen cabinets.

Tank water heaters, due to storing water within themselves, take up a lot of space and detract from the beauty of the environment.

The Electricity Consumption of Combi Boilers Vs. Water Heaters

Old water heaters can only heat water using gas or oil. In many new models of wall-mounted water heaters, electricity is also used to ignite the burner and operate the device.

In contrast, combi boilers require more gas and electricity, which is why using a water heater is a better choice for areas that face frequent power outages. Finally, it should be noted that electric water heaters operate solely on electricity and do not burn gas.
