Gas combi boiler efficiencies
Gas combi boiler efficiencies
As the world evolves there is going up demand for gas and prices are increasing each year. If you use gas central heating your heating boiler is a large user gas and large proportion of your gas bill. Installing a modern condensing combination boiler could save you 30 percent on your gas costs.
Your current heating boiler delivers your hot water and central heating. Your current gas fired boiler will have an anticipated life off up to 15 years. If your boiler is nearing the end of its lifetime it could be very ineffective in comparison to younger models.
Noticing that this it could be cost effective to exchange your boiler if your current model is nearing the end of its lifespan. A new condensing combi-boiler could cut your costs significantly. If you do replace your boiler you could look at a combi boiler which is ideally suited for the smaller home or properties where there are a limited number of people in the home. Your hot water storage cylinder becomes redundant with a gas combi-boiler which heats water on call for. Although the boiler can deliver instantaneous hot water it will have a limited capacity and will not be able to service multiple hot taps at the same time.
A median boiler will use a hot water cylinder to store hot water it develops during the daytime. You will get heat loss and energy releases even though the hot water cylinder is insulated. The tank also requires storage space although large amounts of hot water are available for several baths in a short space of time.
You can get efficiencies of up to 60 % by putting in a gas combi-boiler and getting rid of the hot water storage cylinder. The most efficient type of combi-boiler is a condensing combi boiler which has an additional heat extract to reclaim the heat in the exhaust gases and use of this to heat your water reducing its gas consumption. Clever use of this energy to heat the water on need means that this type of gas fired boiler can further save on your gas costs.
