We’re big fans of the Energy Saving Trust website here at Glow-worm.

We’re also fans of saving money which is why we’re constantly raving about high efficiency condensing boilers, which could save you as much as £270 a year on your heating bills.

Did you know that there may be grants and offers available in your area to help you install an energy efficient heating system?

The Energy Saving Trust has a search facility on the website www.energysavingtrust.org.uk to check whether there are any such grants or offers in your area. As well as heating, it also provides details for offers on cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and draught proofing and general appliances.

How do high efficiency condensing boilers work?

If you haven’t already heard, a high efficiency condensing boiler works on the principle of recovering as much as possible of the heat which is normally wasted from the flue of a conventional (non-condensing) boiler. The best high efficiency condensing boilers convert more than 90% of the energy it consumes into useful energy , compared to just 78% for conventional types.

Nowadays all new boilers must be high efficiency – all Glow-worm boilers are SEDBUK A or B rated. This means that, based on the Government’s rating of energy efficiency, all Glow-worm boilers are at the top of the scale. So you can be confident that investing in a Glow-worm boiler can help to save money and reduce your impact on the environment by using less energy.
