Ecogen – the next generation of energy efficient boilers

Ecogen is a dual system boiler that generates efficient heating and hot water, but also generates low-carbon electricity for a convenient in home, renewable energy supply. Together with the Government’s Feed-in Tariff, it could not only save you money by reducing the energy you need from a supplier, but earn you money for excess energy you produce and don’t use, which can be fed back into the national grid.

The benefits of an Ecogen boiler:

  • Generates electricity as well as heating and hot water.
  • Can generate up to 30% of the electricity you need at home.[1]
  • Produces 1kWh of electricity every hour, which can be used to run household appliances.[3]
  • Allows you to benefit from the Government’s Feed-in Tariff where you could be paid for electricity you generate.
  • You’ll receive payment for any excess electricity you don’t use, which can be fed back into the National Grid.
  • Payments through the Feed-in Tariff are guaranteed for 10 years.
  • Gives you more control over the way you use energy in your home.

Conventional condensing boilers

This conventional condensing boiler system has two water tanks in the loft and a cylinder, normally in the airing cupboard. The condensing boiler heats the cylinder and converts cold water to hot, releasing gallons of hot water to taps around the house. A pump also circulates hot water via pipes to heat the radiators.

The benefits of a condensing boiler:

  • Faster flow rates.
  • Multiple tap operation.
  • Use of an airing cupboard.
  • Backup electrical hot water heating via immersion.
  • Heating and hot water together.
  • Solar compatible.

Combination boiler

Combi boilers are economical to run and can produce an endless supply of hot water. As they heat water direct from the mains, there’s no need to wait for a storage cylinder to heat up, and you won't run out of hot water. They’re also good if you’re short of space. A pump circulates hot water via pipes to heat your radiators.

The benefits of a combination boiler:

  • Space saving solution.
  • No need for a hot water cylinder or water tank.
  • Heats up hot water when you need it, and it’s there on demand, no waiting.
  • Hot water with mains pressure.
