A qualified, registered installer will help you to buy an appropriate boiler for your home. In most cases, the ‘right boiler’ will mean a condensing boiler. In fact, exceptional circumstances aside, all new gas and oil central heating boilers fitted in the UK must now be condensing boilers by law. Traditional non-condensing boilers convert only 60% of fuel into heat, whereas condensing boilers work at a rate of at least 90%. Condensing boilers have become vastly more popular over the recent years, they are now built with standard parts and are no more complex to service than a modern flue boiler.
