Best Boilers for Small Homes
For small properties, flats, or 1–2 bedroom homes, compact boilers are the best choice. Combi boilers offer hot water and heating from one single unit, saving space and reducing energy use.
Our top picks:

- Vaillant ecoFIT Pure Combi
- Ideal Logic+ Combi
- Baxi 200 Combi
Benefits:
- No tank or cylinder required
- Instant hot water
- Fits in kitchen cupboards or tight spaces
