Potterton was founded in 1850 and quickly gained a reputation for quality and innovation.
In the 1930s, Potterton introduced the first gas-fired boiler with a permanent pilot light, which greatly improved safety and convenience.
In the 1990s, Potterton became part of the Baxi Group, which is one of the largest boiler manufacturers in Europe.
Today, Potterton is known for its high-quality boilers, which are designed and manufactured in the UK. The company offers a wide range of models to suit different needs and budgets, and is committed to using the latest technology to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
Before we dive into the complexities of combis, if you aren’t completely sure what one is, don’t worry, allow us to explain.
A combi (combination) boiler is a type of domestic boiler that ‘combines’ a home’s central heating and hot water production into one succinct unit.
A combi takes water directly from the mains and heats it upon usage. After detecting a hot water request, the combi begins to burn gas in a combustion chamber.
The hot gases rise and move through a series of pipes and into a component called a heat exchanger, the hot gas running through the exchanger then heats the surrounding cold water.
In a conventional boiler system, this process is done according to a programme and the water is stored in a separate cylinder until it’s needed.
A combi only starts this cycle upon request (initiating the heating or turning on a hot water outlet), therefore the hot water is almost instant.
