Biggs Heat Technologies

This page will tell you All About Boilers and describe the types of installation. As of April 2005 in England and Wales, with very few exceptions, it is a requirement under Part 'L' of the building regulations, that new and replacement boilers should be High efficiency (HE) condensing boilers, with an efficiency of no less than 86%. Modern boilers convert 90% of their fuel into heat compared to 78% on conventional boilers. To put that into more comparable terms, the exhaust fumes from a conventional boiler exiting the flue outside will be on average around 150-180 degrees!

Although upgrading your existing boiler to a new high-efficiency boiler is a proactive way of reducing your fuel bills, heating controls are as, if not more important than replacing the boiler. Controls can be added to an existing system with an existing boiler at a fraction of the cost of changing the boiler and still provide a substantial saving on fuel bills depending on usage. According to a study by OFGEM, heating makes up over 60% of the 1342 average annual energy bill. Despite this, 1 million UK homes don't have suitable controls, like room thermostats and instead simply turn the boiler on when they are cold and turn the boiler off when they are too hot.

A Heat Pump uses the same technology as your domestic fridge, in fact, a fridge is a type of heat pump. If you look behind your fridge you will notice the back of the fridge feels warm, this heat is a by-product of the refrigeration process. A heat pump used for generating thermal energy to heat a building basically uses this heat rather than wasting it like a fridge. In terms of a domestic fridge, the fridge compartment would be the energy source, equivalent to the air or ground, and the heat at the back of the fridge would be your heating system.
