Energy Efficient

Also, older boilers are often less efficient than newer condensing gas boilers. ACR Plumbing and Heating can replace your old boiler – and your old heating controls – with newer more efficient models.

When your boiler is operating at only 90% efficiency you are wasting energy and money. If you replace your old boiler with a more energy-efficient boiler, that usually function at about 60% efficiently you can make sizeable savings on your energy bills.

Ensuring your home is energy efficient is your contribution to safeguarding our environment. Although gas central heating is in general cleaner and more efficient than other methods of heating your home, it isn’t without its impact on the planet.
