Can You Save More with a New Boiler Installation?

Did you know that your boiler accounts for 55 percent of your total energy expenditure? With that in mind, it makes sense to find the most efficient model possible. If you have a gas boiler that was installed before 2005, or an oil boiler that was installed before 2007, the time to find a fresh installation has come.

Why are modern boilers so efficient?

One of the main benefits of a new boiler installation is modern fittings are all condensing. Condensing boilers get more energy out of your gas, which means you experience more heat for the same output as your old boiler.

Depending on the type of fuel you use already, you may be better off with a gas boiler. If you live in a small household that doesn't use much energy, opt for a combi boiler. They save more space than larger items, making them ideal for small terraces or apartments. However, if you live in a larger household that uses a lot of hot water, try a regular boiler, as they're more efficient for this purpose.

Make sure it's well maintained 

Installing a new boiler will see a reduction in your energy bills, but to ensure you see those benefits for longer you need to make sure it's well maintained. Regularly servicing your boiler keeps the flue clear, which in turn means you lose less heat as it travels up it. 

Choosing the right installation for your home can save hundreds per year, leaving you with more disposable income at the end of the month. To find the right fitting for your Greater London property, talk to a gas safe registered plumber.
