Is your boiler over 15 years old or you suspect it is not as efficient as it could be? You might be due for a new energy efficient unit to be installed. Boilers over 15 years old are often only around 60 per cent efficient (G rated or less), which means that for every pound spent on fuel, 40p is going to waste.
When fitting a new boiler it is now law that it must be of a Condensing Boiler type. These boilers report higher than 90% efficiency levels and are A rated for efficiency, Reduce your CO2 bills and helping the environment!
Condensing boilers are so named because they condense periodically. Heat is extracted from the boilers exhaust gases that would otherwise escape through the flue which in turn changes water vapour into liquid water or condensate.
An efficient condensing boiler returns much more useful heat from its fuel than other types of boiler. Its superb operating efficiency is made possible by the condensing boiler's larger or dual heat exchanger.
This extended heat exchanger assures as much heat as possible is created from the boiler's gas burners. Further savings are made through the condensing action where as little as possible energy is lost in gases through the flue.
The two types of condensing boiler are the regular and combination types. Normal condensing boilers heat your hot water through a hot water cylinder. Combination condensing boilers create instant hot water – on demand - without the need for a hot water cylinder.
Due to the nature of the set up of some existing central heating systems, it is not always possible to integrate one of the energy efficient condensing boilers in your home, without modification. We will gladly advise you on the most suitable condensing boiler for your home and what other work is needed to install it.
