Boiler warranties
-
As an approved major
manufacturer's installer, we can pass on the benefit of extended warranties of up to 5 years on
selected models.
Boiler efficiency
-
Older boilers can be as
little as 60% efficient, much of the wasted heat being vented to the outside world along with the
other flue gases produced in the fuel burning process. However, a modern A-rated boiler can turn
90% or more of the fuel it uses into heat and hot water for your home, offering significant savings
on fuel bills and the environment.
Flue gases
-
When commissioning, repairing or servicing a boiler, we use a Kane 250 flue gas analyser to measure
output temperatures and proportions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other output gases. This
allows us to accurately assess the efficiency and correct operation of the boiler and we then
produce a laser printout report for our customers.
Condensing boilers
-
A condensing boiler captures much more usable heat from its fuel than
a non-condensing boiler. Its high operating efficiency is made possible by the design of the
condensing boiler's larger - or sometimes dual - heat exchanger.
-
The heat exchanger makes sure
that as much heat as possible is transferred from the boiler's burner - and as little as possible
lost in gases through the flue.
-
There are two types of
condensing boiler: regular and combination. Regular condensing boilers heat your hot water through
a hot water cylinder. Combination condensing boilers give you instant hot water without the need
for a cylinder.
Please bear in mind that not all home heating systems will be compatible with a combination boiler.
We can advise you which type of condensing boiler, regular or combination, is most suitable for
your home.
What's so good about condensing boilers?
-
As any reputable installer will confirm,
condensing boilers can be easily fitted to most new and old heating systems. But what makes them
better than older, non-condensing boilers is their efficiency: they waste far less energy.
-
Put another way, while poor
old non-condensing boilers convert just 60% of their fuel into heat, the efficiency of modern
A-rated condensing boilers is at least 90%.
-
An A-rated condensing boiler
will also use a third less fuel than an older boiler to provide the same amount of heat -
potentially cutting heating bills and CO2 emissions by a third too.
All of which makes condensing boilers the most efficient boilers on the
market!
