Useful Information
A reliable, energy efficient central heating boiler is one of the most important appliances that you will have in your home (particularly during cold spells). The most popular types of modern central heating boilers are gas or oil based with a smaller demand for solid-fuel boilers.
Older boilers waste heat and money every time they fire up. This is because a lot of the heat that is generated from burning the gas is lost up the chimney or flue. Modern boilers are much more efficient because they recover and recycle a lot of this heat, and so need to use less gas. This can save you up to 40% or £200 a year off the average UK gas bill.
The hot water cylinder thermostat should be no higher than 60°C for bathing and washing,
