Boiler information

Floor standing or wall hanged?

Wall hung boilers are characterised by their short dimensions and moderate power outputs. There are several types of these boilers on the market that are designed to meet different needs. There are boilers with hot water production only for heating and boilers that also have sanitary hot water production. Among these, there are boilers with instantaneous sanitary hot water production or with hot water storage.

In general, floor standing boilers have a higher power output than the wall hung boilers. Floor standing boilers often have cast iron heat exchangers, which is also why they stand on the floor. They are heavier and if correctly applied, the lifetime of the heat exchanger can be higher with respect to other materials.

While some wall hung boilers are designed to be used in the "living" parts of a house (even in kitchens), floor hung boilers are often installed in cellars or adapted rooms due to their size and design. As some floor standing boilers use forced air burners, they might also be more noisy.
