Central Heating fueled by natural gas is the most popular type of heating in the UK. This is generally called a ‘wet system’ where a gas-fired boiler heats water, which provides central heating via radiators and hot water through the taps in your home.
Some houses that aren’t connected to the gas network use solid fuel, oil or liquid petroleum gas (LPG). LPG works in a similar way to natural gas except LPG is delivered by road and stored in a tank, which you may have to buy or rent from your supplier.
Benefits of Gas Central Heating include Gas is a highly efficient fuel, so you get a good return on every unit of energy. Modern condensing boilers, which use hot flue gases that are wasted in a standard boiler. Condensing boilers are at least 86% efficient.
With mains gas, it’s piped direct to your home so you don’t need to store any fuel.
Replacing a standard gas boiler with a highly efficient modern condensing boiler is a relatively straightforward job. See our boiler reviews for current Best Buys.
As gas is the most widely used heating fuel in the UK, finding a plumber registered with the Corgi gas safety scheme should be fairly easy if your boiler breaks down or needs servicing.
