English Housing Survey, Headline Report, 2020-21, published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2021, defines a back boiler as a boiler that is: ‘located behind a room heater and feeds hot water to a separate storage cylinder. They are generally less efficient than other boiler types.’
