Why should you buy an Eco-Friendly Boiler?

When it comes to the environment, these days it’s not quite good enough to have a boiler that is simply effective and reliable at heating your water and home. Having an eco-friendly boiler is an essential part of the 21st Century new build – and those with older, less efficient boilers are being encouraged to swap them out.

Who benefits when you install an eco-friendly boiler? And what are some of the innovations being driven by boiler manufacturers?

Everyone’s a winner

Even if reducing your carbon footprint and minimising your impact on the health of our planet isn’t at the top of your priority list, there are huge gains to be made for the average citizen switching to an eco-friendly boiler.

A healthier home

Older boilers that have been the powerhouses in our homes for the last 40 years are prone to leakages of dangerous compounds – such as carbon monoxide gas. These compounds are by-products of the fossil fuels the boilers burn to create heat energy.

Switching to an eco-gas boiler helps to protect the health of you and your family, as well as the Earth and its environment – this is because modern eco-gas boilers are less likely to emit dangerous fumes.

A healthier planet

The biggest driver behind the boiler industry innovation is the health of our atmosphere, and as a result, our planet.

The burning of fossil fuels in any and every form is responsible for the current state of Climate Crisis, so it’s vital that as a society, we reduce their usage at every opportunity.

As mentioned, traditional boilers are nowhere near as efficient, so switching to an eco-boiler is a great way to cut unnecessary energy loss – on a national scale, the carbon savings would be absolutely huge, and everyone who switches is contributing to the realisation of that goal.

Financial savings

With an eco-friendly boiler, you can start to count the new-found cash that your energy savings have put straight into your pocket.

Old, traditional boilers are extremely, extremely energy inefficient – and as a result, your energy bills are likely much, much higher than they need to be.

There are various actions you can take to try to mitigate the energy loss of your traditional boiler as much as possible, such as installing a boiler jacket, or improving the insulation quality in your home – however, nothing will return your investment quicker than simply purchasing a new eco-friendly boiler.

It’s a highly competitive manufacturing industry, meaning there are always new innovations improving the energy efficiency of eco-boilers.

For example, Thermostatic Radiator Valves can control room temperature more effectively, meaning you use less energy heating the different rooms in the house.

The options

There are a couple of options when it comes to the type of eco-boiler you are looking for, with their own relative positives and drawbacks.

For the biggest carbon savings, Biomass boilers may be the choice for you. Compared to their Condensing boiler counterparts, they require much more storage space as they are powered by burning wood and other organic materials.

They’re highly effective for heating your water, not so much your home – and have many modern features such as the ability to reduce how much air and fuel is needed to produce heat.

The popular choice for those making the switch is the Condensing Boiler. You have a lot more choice over the size of the installation, meaning it can be far more convenient for fitting into your home, while also not requiring so much management of fuel and resources.

They are highly energy efficient with minimum maintenance required, meaning they are an appealing option for practicality reasons.
