When it comes to making your home more energy efficient, condensing central heating boilers are the popular style. With a non-condensing boiler the efficiency will be around 75% which could see you spending an extra \u00a3300 every year on heating bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Condensing central heating boilers, however, have a heightened efficiency and you would see efficiencies stretch towards the 90% mark. The difference in efficiency levels is purely down to how much heat is extracted from waste gases, rather than being lost. <\/p>\n

With a condensing boiler, less hot gas can escape and be lost in the flue. Instead it\u2019s captured and used to provide heat for your property. <\/p>\n

This efficiency is created by having two exchangers. Firstly, in condensing central heating boilers heat will rise upwards into the exchanger before being diverted to a second exchanger. This means even more heat can be taken in. Once the hot gas leaves your boiler it\u2019s only at a temperature as low as 55\u00b0C, rather than 180\u00b0C typical in a regular boiler.<\/p>\n

When it comes to condensing boilers, the most popular style by far is the combi boiler. There are two reasons it has become such a popular feature in UK homes. Firstly, it\u2019s small and compact, saving room in the home and can be easily fitted to a kitchen wall. And secondly, combi central heating boilers provide hot water whenever it\u2019s needed, without use of a water storage tank. <\/p>\n

With an older boiler you\u2019re more likely to see a storage tank installed in the loft or perhaps the airing cupboard. Installing a combi will open up space and bills can be reduced annually by \u00a3300. <\/p>\n
