Growing economies around the planet have an increasing call for energy resulting in higher gas bills. To combat this we need to go over our use of gas in the house. You could save up to one third on your current gas costs by installing a condensing combi boiler.

Your existing gas fired boiler has to work hard providing hot water to your taps and heating water for your central heating. Your current boiler will have an expected life off up to 15 years. New and replacement boilers will be much more economical than your present-day central heating boiler. A modern-day gas fired boiler can be 95% efficient in its use of gas and graded A on the SEDBUK scale whereas your current central heating boiler may only be 30% economic.

If your heating boiler is over ten years old, it might be worth investing in a new model. A new central heating boiler should lead to a large reduction in your gas heating bills. If you do replace your boiler you could study a gas combi-boiler which is ideally suited for the smaller home or houses where there are a limited number of people in the home. As a gas combi boiler heats the water on demand it does not need a storage tank in the airing cupboard. Hot water is instant but if somebody runs a hot tap while you're having a hot shower you may find that your hot shower becomes colder.

If you have a system or regular gas fired boiler it will use a hot water cylinder to save hot water produced earlier for use when called for later that day. The hot water tank is a leading source of heat loss in the system leading to inefficiencies. If you have a smaller household you will find that you could have other uses for the space that the hot water tank takes up.

A gas combi boiler is a type of gas boiler where the water is heated on need and is 60percent more efficient than the indirect hot water storage method. Another variant of the gas combination boiler is the combi condensing boiler which is able to extract waste heat from the exhaust gases and use this to heat water when called for. Clever use of this energy to heat the water on need means that this type of boiler can further save on your gas costs.
