If you have a large family and you use a lot of electricity, you may be interested in a brand new boiler that is designed to cut costs for big homes.
The boiler was created by energy company Flow, and it may look like a standard boiler, but it has a generator inside that can convert heat into electricity. This can vastly reduce the amount of money that is spent on energy bills…. but there is a downside. The boiler costs thousands of pounds to install.
Would you benefit from this boiler?
The boiler gives people the chance to save up to £500 per year on their energy bills, but not every household will benefit from this boiler. This is because the boiler uses a generator to create the energy, and the generator has to continue burning gas on a continuous basis to create the ‘free’ energy.
This may seem like it is bad for the environment, but the boiler is designed for big families (of five or more) who use energy on a near-constant basis. For example, they will use the washing machine at least once a day, and they will run hot water nearly every hour.
In fact, Flow has stated that homes need to use at least 32,000 kilowatts of gas every year, which is twice the amount used by the average UK home.
So either way, the household would be using lots of energy, but this new boiler means that they can save up to £500 a year on gas. This is ideal for families who need to save money.
How much does it cost to install the boiler?
Customers will have to pay £1,800 to install the boiler. This is seriously pricey, especially when compared with the average cost of boiler installation, but it is well worth it for families who already spend thousands a year on energy.
If you only use an average amount of energy and you are interested in boiler installation Bristol companies, you can find out more about installation costs at bristolboilerservice.co.uk.
Whilst most boilers are much cheaper to install, the Flow boiler is perfect for large families who use lots of energy individually and collectively. This is because over time they will save thousands of pounds, which will more than cover the installation costs.
