About Regular (Conventional) Boilers
A regular (also called conventional or heat-only) boiler works with both a hot water cylinder and a cold water tank, usually in the loft. It’s often the most straightforward like-for-like replacement in older homes that already have this setup, and can suit homes with lower mains water pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Can I switch from a regular boiler to a combi?
Often yes, but it depends on your mains water pressure and pipework — a proper site survey from a Gas Safe registered installer is the only reliable way to know before committing.
Are you a boiler installer yourselves?
No — Best Boiler Deals is an independent comparison and information service. We recommend always checking an installer’s Gas Safe Register ID directly before any gas work begins.
Is all the pricing on this site guaranteed?
No — costs mentioned are typical ranges reported by trade sources, not fixed quotes. Always get itemised quotes from more than one Gas Safe registered installer before committing.
What happens after I request a quote?
A partner installer reviews your details and gets in touch to arrange a proper site survey — there’s no obligation to proceed with any quote.
