Beyond Warmth: The Science of Boiler Installation and Its Environmental Impact
Boilers play a crucial role in homes, providing essential warmth and comfort, especially during colder months. However, traditional boilers have been scrutinised for their environmental footprint. This is perhaps why many homeowners are increasingly mindful of their boiler installation choices, focusing on appliances that are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. With modern solutions, it's possible to reduce a boiler's environmental impact while ensuring optimal performance. What’s wrong with traditional boilers? A boiler burns fossil fuels like oil or gas to produce heat—a process that generates greenhouse gases and emissions and contributes to air pollution and climate change. Aside from carbon emissions, a running boiler can also release other harmful pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which are known to negatively impact the environment and human health. These issues are more pronounced in older boilers, which are less energy-effici
