Boiler efficiency indicates the percentage of fuel used to run your boiler that is converted into usable heat in your home. Checking where the boiler falls on the ErP rating is the most effective way to determine its efficiency. More efficient boilers get an A rating, and less efficient ones get a G rating.
An A+++ boiler rating means that the boiler has an efficiency of up to 150%. However, the boiler can be as high as 82% efficiency and as low as 30% if it’s class C, D, E, F, or G. A home is likely to be more vulnerable to low-ranked boilers as they can make energy bills higher.
For energy bills, efficiency of the boiler is the most important thing. For the last couple of years, you may have seen a rise in your energy spending. Although prices have indeed increased, other issues are involved as well.
Your boiler efficiency is also another key area to increase or decrease your energy bills. Your boiler efficiency has dwindled over time if installed before 2005. In addition, boilers consume less energy because of the integration of the latest technologies.
Any new boiler installed has to be condensing with an A rating. Condensing boilers are designed to warm your home and water as efficiently as possible.
The amount of heat that condensing boilers produce and their over 90% efficiency above are what differentiate them from non-condensing boilers.
Boiler efficiency is measured as a percentage—the higher the number, the better. For example:
Upgrading to an A-rated boiler ensures maximum heat output for minimum energy input, slashing your utility costs and improving your home’s EPC rating.
