What are the benefits of a condensing boiler?

A condensing boiler is a boiler that makes use of condensing technology. So the idea is:

  1. The boiler heats up the water from the mains
  2. This causes some losses in energy, as waste heat is produced
  3. The condensing boiler pushes the waste gases back through the heat exchanger and this cools the heat, turning it back to liquid.
  4. The liquid is reheated and used to heat your home

As a result, most energy efficient condensing boilers can be up to 90% more efficient than non-condensing models, where only steps 1 and  occur.

Why choose a condensing boiler?

So why would you choose a condensing boiler? Well the advantages are two-fold:

  1. You’ll save money- instead of simply heating the water to warm up your radiators, your boiler will reheat waste gasses, so that you don’t waste as much energy. This will help you save money on gas and fuel bills. You might even find that you don’t need to turn on the heating as frequently.
  2. You’ll cut your carbon footprint- it’s becoming increasingly important to consider the planet, and take care of it. So using a condensing boiler is only common sense. By reusing waste, a condensing boiler releases much less gas into the environment. And it also uses much less fuel. It’s a win win!
