What is a Condensing Boiler?

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Fri 28th December 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in DIY Adding Value TipsPlumbing

A condensing boiler increases efficiency by converting more fuel energy into hot water by salvaging heat from gases that are normally expelled out through the boiler flue.

This technology offers genuine efficiencies of up to 90% in comparison to older boilers running at around 50% efficiency.

The heat extraction from the excess flue gases causes reduction in lost heat of up to 50%.
