Non-Condensing Boiler Replacement - Stop Wasting 30% of Your Fuel
Non-condensing boilers waste £400+ every year by sending heat straight up the flue. Modern condensing boilers capture that wasted heat and put it back into your home.
What You'll Save depending upon the age of your non-condensing boiler:
1990s boiler (G-rated, 60-70% efficient):
- Annual saving: £400-£500
- Monthly saving: £33-£42
- 10-year saving: £4,000-£5,000
Early 2000s boiler (E-rated, 70-75% efficient):
- Annual saving: £250-£350
- Monthly saving: £21-£29
- 10-year saving: £2,500-£3,500
2003-2005 boiler (D-rated, 75-80% efficient):
- Annual saving: £150-£250
- Monthly saving: £12-£21
- 10-year saving: £1,500-£2,500
The Efficiency Gap
Your non-condensing boiler: 60-80% efficient
- For every £100 spent on gas, £20-£40 goes up the flue
Modern condensing boiler: 90-94% efficient
- For every £100 spent on gas, only £6-£10 is wasted
The difference: That’s an extra £500/year staying in your pocket instead of disappearing as steam.
Why Non-Condensing Boilers Are Being Phased Out
Banned since 2005: Non-condensing boilers can no longer be installed in UK homes (with rare exceptions)
Increasingly expensive to run:
- Gas prices up 50% since 2020
- Carbon taxes making fossil fuels costlier
- Energy efficiency now affects property value significantly
Parts becoming scarce:
- Manufacturers stopped making parts
- Repairs cost 50-100% more than 5 years ago
- When it breaks, replacement is only option
EPC regulations:
- Landlords must have EPC rating C by 2025
- Non-condensing boiler = automatic EPC rating below C
- Affects property saleability
