Save gas with a combi
Save gas with a combi
Evolving economies around the planet on going up need for gas resulting in higher gas bills. To battle this we need to go over our use of gas in the house. You could trim your gas costs by up to 35% if you install a new energy-saving condensing combi-boiler.
Your existing boiler provides your hot water and central heating. Boilers have a lifetime of 15 years. New and replacement boilers will be much more cost-efficient than your current central heating boiler. The SEDBUK ranking gives an indication of the efficiency of a boiler with A being very cost-effective and G being very ineffective.
Replacing an aging heating boiler could save you in the long run through the accumulated efficiency you will get. You can cut your gas bills significantly if you invest in a new energy efficient boiler. If you have a smaller home with a conservative need for hot water a gas combi-boiler is probably the best option for you. Your hot water storage cylinder becomes redundant with a combi boiler which heats water on demand. Whilst the boiler can provide immediate hot water it will have a limited throughput and will not be able to serve multiple hot taps at the same time.
Regular boiler types heat hot water and store it in the hot water tank to be available when called for. Hiving Away hot water for use later is very wasteful and wastes gas. Whilst storing the water means that great amounts of hot water are available from the cylinder it will take up valuable space in your home.
A gas combi boiler only heats water when hot water is called for and is consequently far more cost-efficient than heating boiler types which use a storage cylinder. A combi condensing boiler is better where water is heated on call for and the hot flue gas normally vented to the air is used to heat a secondary coil. The gas requirements of the boiler are significantly cut as it reuses the exhaust gases warmth.
