Boiler & Heating Solutions

How do I know if I have a non-condensing boiler

First and foremost, consult your boiler's user manual, as it is the most convenient source of information. Take a moment to verify the installation date of your boiler, which should be mentioned within the manual or on the boiler itself.

Should your boiler have been installed post-April 2005, it is highly likely that you possess a condensing boiler. This is due to new regulations being implemented during that period, which mandated that all newly-manufactured boilers must be condensing boilers.

Next, examine your flue, which is an essential component in your boiler system. The flue can typically be found protruding from an external wall or the roof of your property. In case you discover that your boiler's flue is composed of metal, you can deduce that it is most probably a non-condensing boiler. Metal flues are a common characteristic of older, non-condensing boiler models.

Lastly, inspect your drainpipe for further indications. A visible release of steam from your flue, coupled with a white plastic pipe connected to a drain, signifies that your boiler is indeed a condensing boiler. These white plastic pipes are specifically designed to handle the acidic condensation created by the more energy-efficient condensing boilers, thus serving as a reliable identifier.

Do I need a Boiler Upgrade?

If your boiler is non-condensing (roughly older than 17 years old), you may be eligible for a free boiler upgrade by utilising the funding from the ECO 4 scheme. EE HOMES will look after you from your initial enquiry to survey funding application, system design and installation- making the journey as easy as possible for you.

Alternatively, if you have no boiler at your property but have a mains gas connection, we can arrange for a free full central heating system to be installed.

EE Homes can ensure that only the best quality products are used. The EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) of your property will also be improved which will in turn increase the value of the property as well as making your property more comfortable.
