Also, I remember reading somewhere that condenser boilers are supposed to be used with narrower pipes than traditional boiler. So not changing pipes at same time may mean they cost more to run. the reason over 50% of homes have them is not because they are more efficient, it is because, as you say in article, it is ‘since 2005 all gas central-heating boilers fitted in the England and Wales must be condensing boilers unless there are exceptional circumstances’. if people fitted them willingly, then one might believe the hype.

Despite the house feeling more comfortable at around 17 deg on the main house thermostat, not running the boiler any more than previously, our consumption has gone up from 102 kwhs per day on average, to 175 kwhs per day. I am not very happy. Our old boiler was at least 40 yrs old, old radiators with no therm.valves - and I wonder what benefit I am getting - I was assured by salesmen and fitters that our gas consumption would drop dramatically.
