There are two types of high efficiency oil boilers or condensing boilers: regular and combination. Regular condensing boilers heat your hot water through a hot water cylinder. Combination condensing boilers give you instant hot water without the need for a cylinder. Please bear in mind that not all home heating systems will be compatible with a combination boiler. A qualified installer will tell you which type of condensing boiler, regular or combination is most suitable for your home.

High Efficiency Oil Boiler - When do I need to change my boiler?

If your boiler is 15 years old then it may have decreased efficiency and need to be changed. Replacing an old boiler with a new condensing boiler and a full set of heating controls can save up to a quarter on your heating bills straight away and up to 1,300kg of CO2 year. If your boiler is younger than 15 years then it is likely to be more efficient so will save you less if you replace it.

High Efficiency Oil Boiler - Why is it a good idea to do it now?
