Condensing boilers extract the maximum amount of heat from the combustion process. In contrast to non-condensing boilers, which discharge waste gases into the environment, condensing boilers condense these gases into water, releasing additional heat in the process.
Condensing boilers have been available for over three decades. They started to gain popularity in the UK during the 1990s following changes made to building regulations. While initial condensing boilers were less efficient than current models, technological developments have resulted in boilers that can be up to 98% efficient.
For more information on upgrading to a modern, efficient new boiler, explore our pages on New Boiler Installations, Combi Boiler Prices, System Boiler Prices, or conventional boiler prices.
Condensing boilers are highly efficient, with a potential efficiency rating of up to 98%. This is because they can extract more heat from the combustion process by condensing waste gases into water. This means less fuel is needed to heat your property, while fewer waste gases are released into the atmosphere. Condensing boilers can achieve greater efficiency when installed with smart controls, such as a smart thermostat and smart radiator valves.

A condensing boiler, is a type of boiler that needs less fuel to produce heat. Heat that would ordinarily be lost while heating water is captured and recycled.
Condensing boilers function by capturing and recycling the heat that would otherwise be wasted during the water heating process. This is accomplished via a secondary heat exchanger, which enables them to attain superior efficiency levels.
Condensing boilers are typically more efficient compared to non-condensing boilers, with the capability to reach efficiency ratings of up to 98%. This can lead to noteworthy long-term energy savings.
The lifespan of a condensing boiler can fluctuate depending on multiple factors, including the frequency of usage, the installation quality, and the maintenance level it obtains. Nevertheless, a condensing boiler can last for up to 15 years or longer with adequate care.
Condensing boilers do require some special considerations when it comes to installation and maintenance. They require a condense pipe which must drain to waste.
Yes, because they emit less carbon than non-condensing boilers, condensing boilers are considered an environmentally friendly heating alternative. They are also capable of achieving up to 98% efficiency. When combined with a smart thermostat and smart radiator valves, they can achieve even more efficiency.
Several variables, like the condensing boiler’s size, brand, and installation needs, will determine the price. The price for a condensing boiler will range from £500 to £2,500 or more.
Retrofitting a condensing boiler to an existing heating system is possible, but it may require adjustments to the current setup.
