What is a condensing boiler and how does it work?

A condensing boiler is a type of boiler that captures and utilises the heat from the exhaust gases produced during combustion. It works by condensing the steam back into water, which not only maximises energy efficiency but also reduces waste.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional for boiler installation?

Hiring a professional for boiler installation ensures that the system is installed correctly and safely, adhering to all regulations and standards. Professionals also have the expertise to assess your home’s needs, potentially saving you money in the long run by ensuring optimal performance.
