A typical UK household spends about 85 percent of its energy consumption on hot water and central heating. It's not surprising then that running costs and environmental considerations can be important in choosing a new boiler for the long term. In April 2005, new regulations were introduced in England and Wales that require boilers to be energy efficient. Pryor Plumbing and Heating are accredited energy efficiency experts.

If your home's boiler is over 15 years old, there may be considerable energy savings to be found in replacing it.  Here are some of the advantages of the new boiler models:

 

Highly Efficient

The new boilers feature a condenser that utilizes the process of heat exchange. The hot gases produced as a result of the condensation are used to pre-heat water located in the storage tank. According to the Energy Saving trust and the (Netherlands-based) National Energy Foundation, conventional boilers can only convert around 78 percent of the fuel to heat energy, while you get an additional 10 percent conversion efficiency with the new condensing boilers. With a very high efficiency rating, you help the environment as well. 

Energy Savings

Replacing an old boiler can be a sizable investment. But because the new condensing boilers consume less fuel, you can save as much as 190 to 240 pounds a year or often 40% less than what you usually pay for your heating bills.  In addition to this, there are about 50 manufacturers of these condensing boilers in the UK, so along with Pryor Plumbing and Heatings advice and help, you can easily choose one will fit both your budget and your home's heating requirements.  

Quality Installation

It is always recommended that you hire Corgi-registered gas engineers to install new condensing boiler systems, as well as members of the Energy Efficiency Installers scheme.  Pryor Plumbing and Heating are both Corgi-registered and Energy Efficiency Accredited.
 

Convenient to Use

Since the new condensing boilers are designed for convenient use, you will never have to worry about operating them. These new boilers works best with heating control options such as an electronic timer that will allow you to switch from heating to hot water separately, thermostatic radiator control valves, intelligent heating controls, boiler energy manager, weather compensator and even full zone control.
