Boiler Efficiency Database

Because boilers account for around 60 per cent of domestic CO2 emissions, by law all new boilers fitted in the UK now have to be energy-efficient condensing boilers. This can push the cost of a new boiler up in some cases, but also means that your new boiler will be more environmentally friendly and more economic. According to the Energy Saving Trust (see useful links) a high efficiency condensing boiler could save you as much as 200 a year - and installing the right heating controls at the same time can save you even more.

You can visit the Boiler Efficiency Database to check the credentials of your chosen boiler at www.Boilers.org.uk and even get an estimated heating cost for your home.

The type of boiler you go for will depend on the fuel type you use - oil or gas - the size of your home and how you expect to use it.
