Ditch the old boiler, says Switch with Which?

11 November 2007

Switching from a conventional boiler to one of the new condensing models will result in substantial savings in the long run, says switchwithwhich.co.uk, the energy switching site from consumer charity Which?

Mike Stevenson, Head of Marketing at switchwithwhich.co.uk, says:

“With winter just around the corner, people should act now to keep their energy bills to a minimum. Although splashing out on a new boiler is something most homeowners dread, replacing an old boiler with a new, energy efficient condensing model will more than pay for itself over the years.

“Older boilers tend to lose heat through the flue, wasting nearly 40 per cent of energy in gas.* Not only does this lead to higher bills, it also means an increase in greenhouse gases.

“If splashing out on a new boiler before Christmas just isn’t realistic, though, it doesn’t cost a penny to check you’re on the best deal for your heating bills, and switch to a better deal if you’re not.

“People who have switched through switchwithwhich.co.uk are enjoying great average annual savings of over £200 per year on their energy bills,** and switching now will let you reap the full benefits by the time you have to turn the radiators up.”
