Benefits Of A New Boiler

Whilst replacing a exhausted boiler with a new one certainly visits the lender balance, there’s also some advantages to upgrading your central heat, especially if you don’t now have TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) or an area thermostat on your system.

Improved boiler efficiency
The energy preservation trust estimates a central heating boiler is responsible for 60% of your household energy bills, so having a far more reliable boiler can make a sizeable difference to your bills. Most new condensing boilers are A rated which means their efficiency is 90% or even more. The efficiency of your old boiler will rely upon a number of factors but typically an old non-condensing boiler would be G rated this means it is less than 70% reliable and could well be 55% -70% efficient. Depending on your gas monthly bill, moving to a more reliable condensing boiler could save £200-300 per yr. See the energysavingtrust.org.uk website for additional information.

Improved heating control

Using a heat controller with TRVs and an area thermostat gives you to create the temperature in each room separately. Each TRV shuts off its radiator from the heating up when the air round the valve extends to the desired temperatures. Generally people like sleeping areas to be about 2 diplomas C cooler than living areas so by using TRVs can improve comfort levels. Once each room reaches the desired temperature and all the TRVs have shut down their radiators a room thermostat, put near one radiator with out a TRV, can switch the whole boiler system off. This saves money as well as keeping the temps at the right level. Also TRVs in rooms used only once in a while like a free room for friends, can be set at a minimal level therefore the room is not heated unnecessarily
