GlowWorm Boilers, Flexicom & Ultracom

Boiler Brand Spotlight - Glow-Worm

In business for more than seventy-five years, Glow-Worm was a pioneer in British central heating and one of the first manufacturers in the United Kingdom to develop the condensing boiler. Glow-Worm makes boilers for every kind of central heating system, all of them fuel-efficient and highly reliable. A large variety of flues, controls, and accessories are available for all boilers made by Glow-Worm, and here is a brief overview of each type to help familiarize you with them.

 

Glow-Worm Flexicom

The well known Glow-Worm Flexicom boilers are offered for every type of central-heating system: combination boilers, heat-only boilers, and system boilers. 

 

Combination Boilers

Combination boilers, often called "combi boilers", provide all the necessary heat for a combined central heating and hot water system without the need for separate hot and cold water tanks. Water is drawn directly from the cold main, yet fully-heated water arrives in a matter of seconds and lasts as long as required. Since all the parts of such a boiler are contained within a single unit, it is easy to install and takes up very little space. Combination boiler systems are exceptionally energy-efficient. Compared to separate furnace and water-heater systems, they save the homeowner 15% or more in utility costs. More than two thirds of all boilers sold in the United Kingdom are combination boilers. To suit all needs, Glow-Worm Flexicom offers three different kinds of condensing combination boilers. Each can be purchased as part of a money-saving package that includes flue, radiators, towel-racks, lime-inhibitor, and cleanser.

 

Heat Only Boilers

Heat only boilers are often called "open-vent boilers". They provide both hot water and central heating for homes of all sizes, in conjunction with an additional hot water storage cylinder, a heat only system includes a cold water storage tank and a feed and expansion cistern. There are five different models of Glow-Worm Flexicom heat only boilers, each of which comes with a standard flue.

 

System Boilers

Like a heat only boiler, a system boiler provides central heating and hot water based on the principle of stored hot water. However, the main components of the heating and hot water systems are built into the boiler. No feed and expansion cistern is needed. Consequently, installation is more efficient. Furthermore, since hot water is pumped from the system boiler through the heating system to the radiators and to the hot water cylinder, response is fast and costs are low. Two different system boilers are available from Glow-Worm Flexicom. Both include a standard flue.

 

Glow-Worm Ultracom
