Backboiler Reviews
The Back Boiler was far more common 30 years ago than it is today. It is a very rare sight to see a modern backboiler installation today and there are very few boiler technicians that have the knowledge to install or service a back boiler. The rarity of back boilers makes it very difficult to find a replacement of your old back boiler system, and finding parts for an old back boiler can sometimes prove almost impossible. However, in our view back boilers are still one of the most reliable and durable boiler systems available.
A normal back boiler installation normally means that the boiler is fitted behind either the stove or fireplace. The back boiler then supplies both the normal hot water required in the house for showers, washing up etc. as well as for heating the radiators and underfloor heating in the winter. This all-in-one solution means that if you ever have a problem with the boiler you will have neither hot water nor heating in the house. However, on the positive side most brands of back boilers are very reliable.
