Half the money spent on fuel bills goes on heating and hot water and investing in a new energy-efficient boiler will ultimately be the first step in reducing your outgoing cost.
Energy Saving
Modern boilers are more efficient because they are all condensing boilers. A condensing boiler has a larger heat exchanger, so it recovers more heat, sends cooler gases up the flue and is more efficient.
Your boiler can account for around 55% of the amount you spend on your annual energy bills, so an A-rated energy boiler really does make economic sense. According to the Energy Saving Trust (EST), you could save up to £195 a year on your energy bills (estimate based on installing a new A-rated condensing boiler with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator controls in a semi-detached house).
Are there any grants available for a new boiler?
If you or a member of your household is on a qualifying benefit, and you are a homeowner, you may qualify for a free boiler replacement through the government backed Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
You could be eligible if:
- You or a member of your household is in receipt of a qualifying benefit
- You are a homeowner
- Your boiler is a minimum of 8 years old
- Your existing boiler is broker or has an intermittent fault which is beyond economical repair.
Alternatively, if you do not meet the qualifying criteria, we can arrange a free no-obligation quote.
“I benefitted from a free boiler replacement, so could you”
These are the words of Jack. Jack and his wife Laura, a retired couple living in Cheshire, recently had their boiler replaced through the free boiler replacement scheme, installed by Dyson Energy Services. It was funded by the government backed Energy Company Obligation scheme.
