Why condensing gas combi-boilers are efficient

Evolving economies around the planet on increasing call for for energy resulting in higher energy costs. One way of cutting heating bills is to critique how you are wasting gas in the home. Fortunately help is at hand, installing a new replacement condensing combi boiler could lead to a significant decrease in your energy bills.

Running in the background your current boiler will be heating your house and providing hot water for washing cutlery and clothing in addition to powering your shower. After 15 years your central heating boiler will have run its useful lifetime and begin to become inefficient. If your boiler is nearing the end of its life-time it could be very inefficient in comparison to newer models. You can assess the comparative efficiency of boilers by looking at their SEDBUK grading, SEDBUK A rating is the most cost-efficient at 95% efficiency in extracting heat from the gas consumed.

As your present heating 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 bills significantly if you invest in a new gas efficient boiler. If you do replace your boiler you could study a gas combi boiler which is ideally suited for the smaller home or houses where there are a limited number of people in the home. With a gas combination boiler you can eliminate the hot water storage cylinder saving space as it will heat water when you need it. Hot water is immediate but if someone runs a hot tap while you’re taking a hot bath you may find that your hot bath becomes colder.

Regular gas boiler types heat hot water and store it in the hot water tank to be available when necessary. The hot water cylinder is a major source of heat loss in the system leading to inefficiencies. Whilst storing the water means that great amounts of hot water are available from the tank it will take up precious space in your home.

60 % heating efficiencies are available to you by switching to a combination boiler which will heat water on need and not require the inefficient hot water storage tank. The most efficient type of gas combination boiler is a condensing gas combination 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 warmth is then used to heat water saving energy usage.
