If you are a homeowner with an old oil boiler and notice your annual fuel bills continuing to rise year on year, this may be an indication that you need to upgrade your boiler.
Finding a new heating system to suit your home can take some time and research as there are many important factors to consider from reliability and efficiency outputs, to overall value for money in the long term.
To help you on your search for a new oil boiler, leading manufacturer of heating technologies Grant provides an insight into the most commonly asked questions:
1. What is the difference between a traditional boiler and a condensing oil boiler?
Modern condensing oil boilers available on the market today provide much higher efficiency outputs than traditional oil boilers and depending on the age and make of your existing oil boiler, installing a condensing oil boiler could save you up to 25% on your annual fuel bills.
Leading the way in the condensing oil boiler offerings, Grant’s range of Vortex condensing oil boilers feature the manufacturer’s patented and award-winning stainless-steel heat exchanger which captures the energy normally lost during the combustion process in traditional boilers.
2. Is the boiler reliable and efficient?
Having a boiler that delivers great efficiencies and that you can trust to keep you and your family warm and cosy all year round is vital.
When selecting your boiler, it is important to ensure that it offers great efficiencies as this will affect the cost of your annual fuel bills in the long run.
In addition to delivering some of the highest efficiencies available on the market ranging between 92-97%, the Grant Vortex condensing oil boiler is the number one choice for homeowners across Ireland thanks to its reliability.
