To most people, boilers are a mystery and it can be hard to know whether they are operating as efficiently as possible. Worcester Bosch Group has developed a new generation of central heating boilers that not only reduce CO emissions but can also reduce fuel bills. 75% of the energy used in the home is for heating and hot water which accounts for about 73% of a home’s CO emissions. Boilers over 15 years old are often only around 60% efficient or less (rated G in the SEDBUK* scale). This means that for every pound spent on fuel, 40p is wasted energy! Book a boiler service in Edinburgh to ensure that your system is safe and as efficient as possible.

Below is a guide to help you work out the type of boiler you may require. Our heating engineers in Edinburgh have years of experience installing boilers - get in touch to find out more.

• You want to use your loft space for a room conversion or other purpose – COMBI
• You live in a flat or bungalow (ie have very little or no roof space) – COMBI
• Your home has more than 2 bathrooms – REGULAR or SYSTEM
• Your mains water pressure is low – REGULAR or SYSTEM
• You want to replace an old boiler to improve an existing conventional central heating system – REGULAR, SYSTEM or COMBI

If you decide to have a new Worcester Greenstar system or regular boiler installed, it is worth bearing in mind that these types of boiler can be complemented by a Worcester Greenskies solar water system.

This could provide between 50-70% of your annual hot water from a sustainable and free source of energy. If you plan to install solar water in the future, prepare for it now. We can install a new boiler with a twin coil hot water cylinder. This will save you money and inconvenience when you have a solar system installed. Learn more about Blackhall’s solar installations.
