High efficiency boilers
|
A condensing boiler captures much more usable heat
from its fuel than a non-condensing boiler. Its high
operating efficiency is made possible by the design of the
condensing boiler's larger - or sometimes dual - heat
exchanger.
The heat exchanger makes sure that as much heat as
possible is transferred from the boiler's burner - and as
little as possible lost in gases through the
flue.
There are two types of condensing boiler: regular
and combination. Regular condensing boilers heat your hot
water through a hot water cylinder. Combination condensing
boilers give you instant hot water without the need for a
cylinder.

Please bear in mind that not all home heating systems will be
compatible with a combination boiler.
We can advise you which type of condensing boiler, regular or
combination, is most suitable for your home.
What's so good about condensing
boilers?
As any reputable installer will confirm, condensing boilers can be
easily fitted to most new and old heating systems. But what makes them better
than older, non-condensing boilers is their efficiency: they waste far less
energy.
Put another way, while poor old non-condensing boilers convert just
60% of their fuel into heat, the efficiency of modern A-rated condensing
boilers is at least 90%.
An A-rated condensing boiler will also use a third less fuel than an
older boiler to provide the same amount of heat - potentially cutting heating
bills and CO2 emissions by a third too.
All of which makes condensing boilers the most efficient
boilers on the market!
