Condensing boilers 'a priority purchase'
Britons have been advised that replacing their old gas boilers with a new condensing boiler should be a priority.
Lord Adair Turner, chairman of the Committee on Climate Change, has said: "After home insulation and more efficient boilers, we now need more intrusive things - double glazing, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation."
He also recommended that "one-stop shops" be introduced where people can have a full assessment of what work needs to be carried out in their homes in order to reduce their carbon footprints.
Commenting on the news, Gordon Miller, founder of whatgreenhome.com, said there were also plenty of steps people could take to boost their energy efficiency without spending any money.
These included turning down the thermostat on central heating.
Once people began to save money through taking these steps, Mr Miller explained they should be encouraged to have a condensing boiler installed and consider microgeneration technologies, such as solar panels and ground or air source heat pumps.

Just
wanted to thank-you for the speedy delivery. Usually we get given delivery
dates only to find that they have omitted to take into consideration that we
live in a rural area which takes an extra day or two, but you got it right.
Well done. It meant that we are able to have our boiler fitted today as there
was a cancellation of a training corse for the fitters that should have been in
Oban today.
Yours gratefully,
Jane Wilkinson
