From April 1st 2005 it will be mandatory for all boilers fitted to be A or B rated. That means the boiler must be over 87.5% efficient. 90% for the A rated boilers.

Exemptions are possible but the vast majority of households and premises will have to have a condensing boiler. We try and fit condensing whenever possible.

The only appliances reaching that figure in today's general market are condensing types. We only install A rated appliances to ensure we are ahead of the legislation.

The other parts of the new legislation means any new boilers installed after the 1st April 2005 have to be registered with CORGI within 10 days of installation. This is done by us and CORGI will then notify the householder where the boiler is installed that the company used is genuine. Just as importantly, CORGI also notify the applicable council of the installation premises that the work has been carried out. This will take on more important implications when the soon to be passed house sale laws are brought in. If you sell your house and the boiler has been installed after 1st April 2005, it must be registered with the council. Prospective house buyers have the right to know when the boiler was fitted, by whom and that it was fitted correctly.
