Boilers

Did you know that more than half of your household energy bill is due to heating your rooms and hot water? Investing in an efficient boiler can significantly impact your energy consumption.

Since 2005, boilers have been legally required to be 'condensing' boilers, which are much more efficient than older models. A condensing boiler recovers more heat and loses less heat through its flue pipe.
