What is a back boiler?

A back boiler is a type of heating system typically installed behind a fireplace or solid fuel fire. These systems were commonly fitted in older UK properties and are usually connected to a hot water cylinder and central heating system.

While many back boilers are now outdated, some remain in use and can still operate safely when properly maintained.

The most common model we service is the Baxi Bermuda, but we handle all types of fireplace-integrated units
