Save with a gas combi boiler
Save with a gas combi boiler
Gas prices are up around the planet and it appears that gas costs cost more each year. To battle this we need to critique our use of gas in the home. You could reduce your gas bills by up to 35% if you put in a new energy-saving condensing combi boiler.
Operating in the background your present-day gas fired boiler will be heating your home and offering hot water for washing cutlery and clothing in addition to powering your bath. A boiler does not last for ever and that the average lifetime will be 15 years. If your boiler is nearing the end of its lifetime it could be very wasteful in comparison to younger models.
Noticing that this it could be cost effective to exchange your gas boiler if your current model is nearing the end of its life. A new gas boiler should lead to a large reduction in your energy bills. gas combination boilers are the most common boilers and are best suited to smaller households where there are not multiple simultaneous requirements for hot water. A combination boiler takes cold water from the mains and heats it as required thereby eradicating any demand for the hot water storage tank. The slight disadvantage with instantaneous hot water is that there is a limited capacity meaning that large families may not be able to run several baths or showers at the same time.
If you have a system or regular central heating boiler it will use a hot water tank to save hot water produced earlier for use when called for later that day. Even though there hot water cylinder may be lagged it will lose heat leading to inefficiencies in the heating system. Whilst hiving away the water means that significant amounts of hot water are available from the cylinder it will take up precious space in your home.
getting rid of the storage cylinder by installing a combi boiler means that your central heating system will be up to 60% more efficient. A combi condensing boiler is even more economical than a common combi 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 call for means that this type of boiler can further save on your gas heating bills.
