LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 10/03/12 -- The latest research shows that people could save up to GBP 300 each year by upgrading to an A-grade efficiency boiler.(i) Boilers account for approximately 60% of what you spend each year on energy bills, so using an efficient one can mean a world of difference to your bank balance and could also help to cut your home's carbon dioxide emissions.

Now, ask others their opinions on boilers and it's likely you will be treated to a blank expression and a mental note to strike you off the dinner party invitation list. After all, unless you're a gas engineer - why would you? And why would you want you? It is not the most enthralling subject known to man.

However, considering warmth is one of the basic tenets of human life - not to mention the difficult relationship between energy usage and its impact on the environment - why wouldn't you want to be using an efficient boiler?

The British Gas range of boilers has been perfectly created to suit all homes, needs and budgets and each boiler is fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer. To top it all off, the A-rated efficiency British Gas boilers come complete with a parts and labour guarantee.

But just why would you be better off with a new boiler?

Well - this is the science bit, but it's quick and painless:

--  Fact one: Modern boilers are more efficient because they are condensing
    boilers. 
    
--  Fact two: This means they have bigger heat exchangers, ensuring they
    recover more heat and send cooler gases up the flue. 
    
--  Fact three: This is good news for the environment and good for your
    comfort and your pocket. 
    

So, whether it's getting a new boiler with British Gas, low-cost insurance or a boiler repair, you know where you need to go. If you do the maths, you will see you could save hundreds of pounds and choose from a range of flexible payment options by using British Gas.
