Heating and hot water

Using a high efficiency condensing boiler with heating controls could save you substantial amount of money over a year. It will also significantly cut your home's CO2 emissions as boilers account for around 60 per cent of all domestic CO2 emissions.

As the current lifespan of a boiler is around 15 years, choosing a heating system with a high efficiency condensing boiler with the correct heating controls can make a huge difference to your heating bills over time.

For more on costs, installation, potential savings and other considerations see the Energy Savings Trust information page1.
