Get a condensing gas combi-boiler to save on gas bills
Energy prices are increasing around the world and it appears that gas bills cost more every year. To fight this we need to survey our use of gas in the home. You could trim your gas bills by up to 35% if you fit a new gas-saving condensing combi boiler.
A central heating gas boiler needs to be able to deliver enough hot water to heat your home and furnish hot water for washing. A boiler does not last for ever and that the average life-time will be 15 years. If your boiler is nearing the end of its life-time it could be very ineffective in comparison to fresher models.
As your present gas fired boiler reaches the end of its life there is an elevated likelihood that you will save on your gas bills if you replace it. An energy efficient combination boiler can lead to a large decrease in your energy bills. A combi boiler is the most widely known type of boiler, and is good for smaller homes with few people, or people who don’t want to wait for their hot water. A combination boiler draws water through the mains and heats it on demand, doing away with the need for a storage tank. If you have a gas combination boiler you will find that hot water may not be ready in the kitchen if you are filling a hot bathtub as it heats the hot water as called for.
If you have a system or regular heating boiler it will use a hot water cylinder to save hot water produced earlier for use when required later that day. Even though there hot water cylinder may be lagged it will lose warmth leading to inefficiencies in the heating system. Whilst storing the water means that large amounts of hot water are available from the cylinder it will take up valuable space in your home.
A combi boiler only heats water when hot water is called for and is therefore far more efficient than heating boiler types which use a storage tank. A combi condensing boiler is more cost-effective than a standard gas combination boiler as it extracts heat from the hot exhaust gases and uses it to heat water. Using the reclaimed heat to create hot water leads to additional gas savings.
