Combi Boiler Information


Boiler Efficiency Database
Data for current production models has been provided by boiler manufacturers, who have had an opportunity to check the database entries before publication. Quoted SEDBUK efficiency figures are based on test results submitted by manufacturers and certified by an independent Notified Body (accredited for the testing of boilers to European standards). Data for obsolete models has not been checked to the same high standard.

Energy efficient central heating
Condensing boilers can be easily fitted to most new and old heating systems. Although most benefit is gained from gas and LPG systems, condensing boilers are also suitable for oil fuelled homes. They are usually no larger than conventional boilers. You can buy them as either combination boilers, which supplies domestic hot water on demand, or conventional system boilers, where a separate hot water cylinder is required.

Energy Saving requirements for certain Home Improvements in UK Building
A modern boiler will not perform well if it has poor controls. To allow these high efficiencies to be achieved in practice, the new Building Regulations also require that any system has a time clock or programmer, a room thermostat (that will switch off the heating when it is not needed) and a hot water tank thermostat (except where combi boilers are used without a tank). They also require the system to be fully pumped (preventing older "gravity" systems) and the wiring in of a boiler interlock that will stop the boiler firing if neither the hot water nor central heating circuits requires any heat.

Energy efficiency in British housing
Energy efficiency in British housing has been attracting greater attention in recent years due to the UK commitment to the United Kingdom Climate Change Programme, and the Kyoto Protocol.
