Get a condensing combi boiler to save on heating bills
As the planet grows there is rising need for energy and prices are increasing each year. If you use gas central heating your gas boiler is a large user gas and large proportion of your energy bill. Installing a modern condensing gas combi-boiler could save you 30 percent on your energy bills.
The central heating gas boiler heats water for both washing items and heating the radiators. Your current central heating boiler will have an anticipated life off up to fifteen years. New and replacement boilers will be much more efficient than your present-day gas boiler. The SEDBUK ranking gives an indication of the efficiency of a gas fired boiler with A being very cost-efficient and G being very uneconomical.
You need to study whether it is economical to continue with your aging gas boiler as it reaches the end of its lifetime rather than switching to a new replacement boiler and enjoying the increased gas efficiency. You can cut your heating costs significantly if you invest in a new energy efficient boiler. combi-boilers are the most popular boilers and are best suited to smaller households where there are not several simultaneous demands for hot water. As a combi boiler heats the water on call for it does not need a storage cylinder in the airing cupboard. Having instantaneous hot water is an advantage but, depending upon the the power rating of your boiler, you may find that the gas boiler is not able to supply multiple hot taps at the same time.
Other boiler types use a hot water cylinder to store hot water so that it is available in larger amounts later in the day. This is the most wasteful method and the heat losses are great even with a fully lagged tank. If you have a smaller home you will find that you could have other uses for the space that the hot water cylinder takes up.
A gas combi-boiler is a type of heating boiler where the water is heated on call for and is 60% more efficient than the indirect hot water storage method. Another form of the gas combi-boiler is the combi condensing boiler which is able to extract waste heat from the flue gases and use this to heat water when needed. The energy demands of the boiler are significantly cut as it reuses the exhaust gases warmth.
