| By installing an energy efficient boiler within a house or flat, can lower heating and hot water bills by 15-20%. One such product is the Glow worm Ultracom 24CXI Combi Boiler which is part of the market leading Glow Worm boiler range of energy-saving condensing gas-fired boilers. If a house has an older style boiler, it could equate to paying 30% more for heating and hot water bills than a new condensing combi boiler.
The rising fuel prices are actually beneficial to the environment as many people are being economic with fuel in a cost saving manor. Does the meaning of why someone is using less fuel matter if, it is helping them and the environment at the same time? The Glow worm Ultracom 30CXI Combi Boiler works by recycling exhaust gases to extract and reuse latent heat which reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Renewable energy devices are being introduced more frequently now in the form of solar panels and ground heat source pumps. Many of the leading plumbing and heating brands have solar panel products for the heating of hot water. Some packages can reduce an annual water heating bill by up to 60%. Solar cylinders are also available which enables a dual heat source application utilising the solar panels with one coil, and the boiler (or other heat source) with the other coil. A solar panel kit is designed to supplement a standard boiler with a hot water cylinder for production of hot water. The existing cylinder in the house is replaced with a cylinder containing two heat cells, one from the boiler in the house and one from the solar panels. A solar panel system of good size should provide approximately 50-70% of the domestic hot water requirements for a typical household. The remaining hot water will be supplied by the boiler in the house. |
