Gas combi-boilers cut gas costs
It appears that each month energy prices are going up resulting in higher energy costs. One way of cutting heating bills is to critique how you are consuming energy in the home. You could cut your gas bills by up to 35% if you fit a new energy-saving condensing gas combi boiler.
The central heating gas boiler heats water for both laundry items and warming the radiators. After fifteen years your gas boiler will have passed its useful life-time and begin to become ineffective. As boiler technology improves current examples are more cost-efficient than those installed in older homes. Many aging boilers are graded as a G on the SEDBUK scale, where A is the most economical at 95-98% and G the least economical boiler at 20-30%.
If your central heating boiler is over ten years old, it might be worth investing in a new model. A new condensing combi boiler could cut your bills significantly. If you do replace your boiler you could consider a combi-boiler which is ideally suited for the smaller home or houses where there are a limited number of people in the home. Your hot water storage cylinder becomes redundant with a combi boiler which heats water on demand. If you have a combi 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.
Other gas fired boiler types use a hot water tank to store hot water so that it is available in larger amounts later in the day. You will get heat loss and gas releases even though the hot water cylinder is insulated. In addition the hot water tank takes up space in the house which could be used for other storage proposes.
A gas combi boiler only heats water when hot water is called for and is therefore far more economic than gas fired boiler types which use a storage cylinder. A combi condensing boiler is more cost-effective than a common combination boiler as it extracts heat from the hot flue gases and uses it to heat water. Clever use of this energy to heat the water on need means that this type of boiler can further save on your heating bills.
