What Boiler Do I Need
The Kilowatt output of your new boiler depends on the size of your house and your usage habits. There is no “fit-for-all” recipe when it comes to choosing the right output, however, this simple boiler guide will give you a good idea. Most mainstream domestic boilers come in outputs including 24kW, 27kW, 28kW, 34kW, however a 40kW boiler or even a 42kW boiler is an option for larger houses with bigger demands.
Apartments
Most flats, apartments and small terraced houses with just one bathroom and the number of radiators ranging from one to 8 will find that choosing a 24kW boiler is usually good enough, however it will depend on circumstances.
Semi-detached Houses
What boiler do you need for a 2 bed house? If the number of radiators isn’t higher than 14 and you have no more than two bathrooms, you will be expected to make a choice between a 28kW and a 32kW boiler.
Detached Houses
Larger detached houses with 3 or more bedrooms having two bathrooms and less than 18 radiators will have to look at some of the bigger-output gas boilers. We’re probably looking at up to 42kW output for larger properties.
What Our Customers Say…
“I was very pleased with the response I had from the Glow Green Ltd company. They sent an engineer to give me an estimate for the boiler installation the very next day and the job was done very neatly within 5 days.”
“Top company. Did exactly what it said on the contract to the letter. Initial engineer injured in an unassociated mishap. The company replaced him and recovered the job very efficiently. The measure of a good firm surely!”
“Two very polite young fitters were sent. They encountered several difficulties in our old house, including plaster that dissolved into sand as they tried to fit pipes and a gas meter in a cupboard that required a contortionist to access it, but they maintained a professional, cheerful approach and completed the work as neatly as possible. One fitter had to work an extra day but no extra charge was made.”

Is Your Boiler Costing You Money?
Getting the right size boiler is crucial for various reasons. Installing something that is too powerful is going to cost you extra money without providing extra comfort. Although we collect initial data about your house and hot water usage during the online quote, when it comes to booking a free surveyor visit, you will get a more accurate appraisal of the situation and he will confidently answer the age-old question of what boiler do i need for my size house?
How is it different from the pushy salesmen visits carried out by some of the larger installers? We won’t try to upsell you to services and products that you don’t need. Once you’re given a price by the surveyor, that’s the boiler installation price you’re going to pay. There are no hidden charges and we stick to our price promise guarantee. Also, we are so confident in our services that we are happy to beat any like-for-like quote.
The key to choosing the right boiler is figuring out your specific circumstances. The number of radiators in your property will play a major role in making the choice. We have to make sure the boiler installed can cope with the capacity of your radiators. Also an important factor is the hot water usage habits of your family, especially how many showers or taps you intend to run at the same time.#
Although most families will find that a combi boiler fits their lifestyle, there are cases that due to a high hot water demand we would have to advise a system boiler as a better alternative. Busy families that need to use two showers at the same time (think busy mornings and school runs) will find that a combi boiler can’t offer enough output to keep everyone happy.
Installing a new boiler shouldn’t break the bank either. Our finance packages start from as little as £9.99 per month, which means you could actually be saving money each month making your energy-efficient boiler pay for itself in form of lower heating bills.
