This does not mean that you’ll need a boiler that takes up a lot of space, however. When referring to boiler size throughout this article, we will actually be focusing on its output size in kilowatts (kW).</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"How-many-kW-boiler-for-a-4-bedroom-house\">How many kW boiler for a 4-bedroom house?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no single correct answer for which size of boiler is best for a 4 bedroom house, there are some simple calculations we can use to provide a decent estimate. The size of the boiler you require does not depend on the number of bedrooms you have. It is actually dictated by the number of <a href=https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/"https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/blog/2015/07/central-heating-radiators/" title=\"Central Heating Radiators\">radiators</a> within your home.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule to follow when calculating what output size a boiler will need to be to heat your home effectively is to allow 2kW for each radiator in your home. This will give you a good idea of what kind of boiler will be best suited to your home. For example: A home with 20 radiators will require a boiler with a central heating output of around 40kW.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to find out exactly which boiler will be best for your 4 bedroom home is by getting expert advice from a professional installer. However, finding the right installer can prove to be difficult itself. Not only do you need to find boiler installers near you, but you also need to vet them, and compare several quotes to ensure you aren’t overcharged.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, we can make this process considerably less painful for you. Simply click the button below and answer some simple questions. Then we’ll find up to 3 trusted boiler installers in your area and provide you with free comparison quotes from them. Then all you need to do is pick the deal that’s best for you. You don’t have to accept any of the quotes you receive.</p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<CtaBlock key=\"block_64d0c4687dbda\"\n class=\"wp-macro\"\n title='Get your best deal'\n subTitle='Quickly compare 3 FREE quotes'\n usps='<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">Quotes from local engineers</li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Payment by finance available</li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Save up to £1080</li>\n</ul>\n'\n :uspsImage='{\"ID\":67205,\"id\":67205,\"title\":\"person\",\"filename\":\"person.png\",\"filesize\":53348,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person.png\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/www.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cta-block\\/solar\\/person\",\"alt\":\"\",\"author\":\"1\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"person\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":67204,\"date\":\"2023-03-24 15:51:17\",\"modified\":\"2023-03-24 15:51:17\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/png\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"png\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/www.greenmatch.co.uk\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":124,\"height\":277,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person-124x150.png\",\"thumbnail-width\":124,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person.png\",\"medium-width\":124,\"medium-height\":277,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person.png\",\"medium_large-width\":124,\"medium_large-height\":277,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person.png\",\"large-width\":124,\"large-height\":277,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person.png\",\"1536x1536-width\":124,\"1536x1536-height\":277,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/person.png\",\"2048x2048-width\":124,\"2048x2048-height\":277}}'\n buttonText='GET QUOTES NOW'\n buttonDescription='It only takes 30 seconds'\n optimizeText='Optimise your home and save the planet'\n :optimizeImage='{\"ID\":67392,\"id\":67392,\"title\":\"earth-globe-square\",\"filename\":\"earth-globe-square.svg\",\"filesize\":8466,\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"link\":\"https:\\/\\/www.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cta-block\\/boilers\\/earth-globe-square\",\"alt\":\"Earth globe icon\",\"author\":\"48\",\"description\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"name\":\"earth-globe-square\",\"status\":\"inherit\",\"uploaded_to\":67362,\"date\":\"2023-03-31 08:31:49\",\"modified\":\"2023-03-31 08:32:07\",\"menu_order\":0,\"mime_type\":\"image\\/svg+xml\",\"type\":\"image\",\"subtype\":\"svg+xml\",\"icon\":\"https:\\/\\/www.greenmatch.co.uk\\/wp-includes\\/images\\/media\\/default.png\",\"width\":1,\"height\":1,\"sizes\":{\"thumbnail\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"thumbnail-width\":150,\"thumbnail-height\":150,\"medium\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"medium-width\":300,\"medium-height\":300,\"medium_large\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"medium_large-width\":768,\"medium_large-height\":1,\"large\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"large-width\":1024,\"large-height\":1024,\"1536x1536\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"1536x1536-width\":1,\"1536x1536-height\":1,\"2048x2048\":\"https:\\/\\/cdn.greenmatch.co.uk\\/cdn-cgi\\/image\\/format=auto\\/2\\/2023\\/03\\/earth-globe-square.svg\",\"2048x2048-width\":1,\"2048x2048-height\":1}}'\n bottomTitle='Call us to get quotes'\n bottomSubTitle='We will get you the best deal'\n phone='0330 808 0405'\n ctaBlockBackgroundColorStart=''\n ctaBlockBackgroundColorEnd=''\n ctaBlockTitleColor=''\n ctaBlockSubtitleColor=''\n ctaBlockUspImageColor=''\n ctaBlockBottomTextColor=''\n ctaBlockBottomBackgroundColor=''\n ctaBlockPhoneTextColor=''\n />\n\n\n\n\n<p></p>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-5 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 id=\"What-Boiler-is-Suited-for-Your-4-Bedroom-House\">What boiler is suited for your 4-bedroom-house?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the average 4 bedroom house has between 10 and 15 radiators, you will most likely require a boiler with an output rating of around 20 to 30 kW.

    Best boiler for a 4 bedroom house

    What size boiler do you need for a 4-bed house?

    The size of your home will directly affect the size of the boiler you’ll require. This does not mean that you’ll need a boiler that takes up a lot of space, however. When referring to boiler size throughout this article, we will actually be focusing on its output size in kilowatts (kW).

    How many kW boiler for a 4-bedroom house?

    While there is no single correct answer for which size of boiler is best for a 4 bedroom house, there are some simple calculations we can use to provide a decent estimate. The size of the boiler you require does not depend on the number of bedrooms you have. It is actually dictated by the number of radiators within your home.

    A good rule to follow when calculating what output size a boiler will need to be to heat your home effectively is to allow 2kW for each radiator in your home. This will give you a good idea of what kind of boiler will be best suited to your home. For example: A home with 20 radiators will require a boiler with a central heating output of around 40kW.

    The only way to find out exactly which boiler will be best for your 4 bedroom home is by getting expert advice from a professional installer. However, finding the right installer can prove to be difficult itself. Not only do you need to find boiler installers near you, but you also need to vet them, and compare several quotes to ensure you aren’t overcharged.

    Fortunately, we can make this process considerably less painful for you. Simply click the button below and answer some simple questions. Then we’ll find up to 3 trusted boiler installers in your area and provide you with free comparison quotes from them. Then all you need to do is pick the deal that’s best for you. You don’t have to accept any of the quotes you receive.

    What boiler is suited for your 4-bedroom-house?

    As the average 4 bedroom house has between 10 and 15 radiators, you will most likely require a boiler with an output rating of around 20 to 30 kW. You will also need to take the number of bathrooms into account as well. For a bit more information on which type of boiler will be best suited to your home, check the sections below for each different boiler type.

    What is the best combi boiler for a 4-bed house?

    A combi boiler is suitable for a 4 bedroom house, so long as it doesn’t have too much demand for hot running water. If your home has more than 2 bathrooms, you may find that even the best combi boilers will struggle to meet your hot water needs.

    If your home has 2 bathrooms or fewer though, a combi boiler could be a great choice. Here are the top 3 boilers with output ratings between 20 and 30kW.

    5 or more15 to 2035 to 43kW

    What is the best system boiler for a 4-bedroom house?

    System boilers can be suitable for a 4 bedroom house with any level of hot water demand, so long as they are installed alongside a big enough hot water cylinder. They take up less room than a regular boiler, as they draw water directly from the mains with no need for a feed tank in the loft. We’ve provided our top 3 system boiler picks below:

    • Magnetic system filter which lengthens the life of the boiler.

    What is the best regular boiler for a 4-bed house?

    As regular boilers combine with a hot water cylinder to provide hot running water, they are suitable for use in any 4 bedroom home with any amount of bathrooms. However, they do require a feed tank in the loft to provide them with water, which means they can take up a lot of space. We would only recommend replacing an existing regular boiler with a new one.

    Here are the top 3 regular boilers for a 4 bedroom house:

    Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 regular boiler
