Why does boiler efficiency matter?

A boiler's efficiency relates to the amount of energy it uses when it comes to heating water.

For example, if 95% of the energy used heats the water, this means that 5% is lost, which would represent an energy-efficient boiler. However, a boiler that loses 40% of its energy would not be very energy-efficient.

Considering that you pay for 100% of the energy used regardless of how much is wasted, it's wise to ensure your boiler is as energy-efficient as possible.

What do boiler efficiency ratings mean?

Boilers are rated according to the ErP or SEDBUK systems.

ErP is the European rating system for boilers, rating their efficiency from A to G. All UK modern gas boilers are legally obligated to be A-rated - i.e. as efficient as it's possible to be.

SEDBUK is the same rating system but it adds exact percentage scores to each boiler for extra detail.

What factors are most important to consider when buying a new boiler?

When buying a new boiler, think about the following:

Boiler type

15% of homes are not connected to the UK's gas network and will need to use an alternative heating method, such as a wood-burning stove, but the rest of the country will be looking at a gas boiler. There are three main types of gas boiler: combi (best for smaller homes), heat-only (best for homes that use a lot of water in different rooms at the same time) or system (best for bigger homes with poor water pressure). Our boiler statistics page breaks down the average cost per type of boiler installed in the UK.

Boiler size

This is important in terms of the physical size of the boiler and the space it needs to fit into, but also in terms of its power in kW. The general rule of thumb for boilers is that the more heat you need (including to heat water), the higher the kW boiler you'll need.

Boiler reliability

While buying a new boiler is expensive, any repairs that need to be carried out on it are also typically expensive, so it's important to try and pick a boiler with solid reliability.
