Heating your home efficiently

Regular boiler maintenance and annual boiler servicing can help increase your unit's heat output while improving its energy efficiency. Although boilers may appear to be in good working order, hidden faults can make them less efficient than you think - especially if your boiler is older than 15 years.

Boilers account for 60% of carbon dioxide emissions from UK homes, which is why all new gas and oil central heating boilers fitted in the UK must be condensing boilers. Condensing boilers are easily fitted to new and old heating systems, and are more efficient than traditional boilers.

If your boiler's flue is made of plastic and lets out visible steam, then your boiler is a condensing boiler. If however, your flue is made of metal and lets off no visible steam, then it is probably a non-condensing boiler.

If your home's boiler falls in the latter category, there are ways to ensure optimum efficiency. Annual boiler servicing can prevent inefficient combustion and dangerous gas emissions. Replacing necessary parts during a boiler service can prevent this.

To find out whether your boiler is as efficient as possible or to book an annual boiler service, call 0800 121 4004. One of heateam's 280 Baxi boiler specialists will be able to provide your home with quality boiler servicing at short notice.
