Save with a combi-boiler
Save with a combi-boiler
Maturing economies around the planet on increasing need for energy resulting in higher energy bills. If you use gas central heating your boiler is a large user gas and large proportion of your gas bill. You could reduce your gas bills by up to 35% if you install a new energy-saving condensing combi-boiler.
Your existing central heating boiler has to work hard providing hot water to your taps and heating water for your central heating. A boiler does not last for ever and that the regular lifetime will be fifteen years. If your boiler is nearing the end of its life it could be very wasteful in comparison to younger models. Your aging gas boiler may only be 20% efficient whereas a modern SEDBUK A ranked boiler could be up to 95% efficient.
As your existing gas fired boiler reaches the end of its life there is an elevated likelihood that you will save on your heating costs if you replace it. You can cut your gas heating bills significantly if you invest in a new gas efficient boiler. If you do replace your boiler you could look at a gas combination boiler which is ideally suited for the smaller home or properties where there are a limited number of people in the home. A combi boiler draws water through the mains and heats it on call for, doing away with the need for a storage tank. If you have a combination boiler you will find that hot water may not be available in the kitchen if you are filling a hot bath as it heats the hot water as needed.
A normal heating boiler will use a hot water cylinder to store hot water it makes during the day. This is the most wasteful method and the heat losses are great even with a fully lagged cylinder. The tank also requires storage space although great volumes of hot water are available for several baths in a short space of time.
A gas combi-boiler is a type of gas boiler where the water is heated on call for and is 60percent more efficient than the indirect hot water storage method. The most efficient type of combi-boiler is a condensing gas combi-boiler which has an additional heat extract to reclaim the heat in the flue gases and use of this to heat your water reducing its energy consumption. The extracted heat is then used to heat up water saving gas usage.
