Condensing Boilers - Destroying the Myths

All the experts agree that when it comes to reducing energy costs, condensing boilers can't be beaten. In the past, condensing gas boilers were seen as nice to have but expensive, the lower running costs were a plus but the purchase price differential between it and a standard boiler was just too great.

However, all this has changed and the cost difference is now significantly lower, plus the savings in fuel running costs have become more important in recent times, due to the rising costs of energy? Here are a couple of key points which also destroy some of the 'myths' that have grown up around them over the years.

• Gas condensing boilers operate at a typical annual efficiency of 96%, compared with an efficiency of often only 70-75% for standard oil boilers.
• Condensing boilers are suitable for replacing most existing boilers and can be wall-hung or floor standing.
• They are as easy to install as non-condensing boilers
• Finding a location and installing a condensing boiler is no different to conventional boiler and in general, no changes to your current system design are necessary.
• In an average household, they can save up to as much as 25% on heating costs over a typical 12 month period.
• It is not necessary to install oversize radiators.
