The old type boilers would normally work with a warm water storage tank located in the airing cupboard, this tank stores your warm water so you would have a supply of hot water as so when you needed it, as the water was used the boiler would begin to reheat the water.

The issue with the old type boilers is they are very expensive to utilize, around 40% of the running costs is wasted through the boiler flue. That’s a lot of money to throw down the drain.
