Improving boiler standards and efficiency
In March 2023, the government published a consultation in response to proposals on domestic gas boiler efficiency, hydrogen-ready boilers and hybrid heating systems.
Martyn Bridges, Director of External Affairs, joined Heating and Plumbing Monthly to discuss the recently released government response to the initial industry submissions, including.
- Boiler Controls: Prohibition of basic on/off controls
- Boiler Output: Modulation levels should be 15% of the boiler's output, compared to the original suggestion of 10%, and for thermostats to be set by default to no higher than 60°C
- Future communication: Importance of clear communication from government regarding regulatory decisions
