Condensing boilers, like other types of energy efficient boilers, are becoming part of the ‘being green’ revolution in boilers. It is not just an ethical, political or ideological belief that drives people to go green. Sometimes it can be purely for financial reasons.
Going green is not all about saving the planet, although of course that is one of the major and best impacts that behaving in a green way can have. However there are many people that enter into it as a way to save money, and find themselves very successful in doing so. Putting in insulation, making sure that taps aren’t left on, unplugging electrical equipment and turning things off standby are all great ways to turn green.
The one way you can really impact upon your bills, however, is to get an energy efficient boiler. One of the most efficient types is a condensing, gas, combination boiler. These boilers are extremely energy efficient, because they use the heat that is produced as the fuel is being burnt. Their thermal efficiency is often rated around 98%.
Having a SEDBUK (Seasonal Efficiency of Domestic Boilers in the UK) ‘A’ rated boiler means having a boiler that is at the extreme end of energy efficiency. It was developed by the Government’s Energy Efficiency Best Practice Programme, encouraging manufacturers to make it simpler to grade their products according to energy efficiency, which in turn pushes up the number of manufacturers who are concerned with creating energy efficiency products. Condensing gas boilers are one category that regularly feature in the A rating, making them a great boiler to purchase if you wanting to turn green in the home, for whatever reasons.
