Why are Condensing Boilers Efficient?

Condensing boilers are efficient because they enter a condensing mode which is where they reuse the gases that normally escape through the flue. It effectively turns water vapour from the gas back into liquid water or condensate. It utilises the "latent heat" that is released from the burned fuel. This makes condensing boilers 12% more efficient than a non-condensing boiler. It basically recycles normally wasted gases.<br><br>An important part of these types of boilers is the heat exchanger. This effectively makes sure as much heat as possible is transferred from the boiler's burner which means as little as possible gets wasted through the flue. <br><br>A High Efficiency boiler condensing boiler can be a combi, system or open vent boiler. The difference between the them is that a combination condensing boiler gives you heat and hot water without the need for a water cylinder, whereas a regular condensing boiler either system or open vent will heat your hot water within a hot water cylinder. <br><br>System and open vent boilers are more suitable for larger homes where there is more than one bathroom. Combi's are more suited to 2 or 3 bedroom homes where there is just one bathroom. Boilers are available for Gas Boilers as well as Oil Boilers. Choosing the right type of boiler for your home and area is essential. Either do the research yourself or find a qualified gas engineer.<br><br>To find out if your homes heating system is compatible with a combination boiler can only be determined by a qualified installer who is on the Gas Register. The gas register is what replaced CORGI and basically means they are qualified to do carry out the work. <br><br>Finding the best installer couldn't be easier. With the success of the recent boiler scrapage scheme many installers are still offering these discounts. Check the internet for local installers and see what offers they have and compare. Once you have found a company check their Gas Safe ID number as this is proof you have a professional installation company that follow all the rules and regulations.
