A question about : Green Energy Advice and help
sorrry - this is a moan....
I want to go green but i've spent ages on the web looking for an ultra efficient oil condensing boiler, domestic turbines, domestic solar panels etc - and to be honest they are all sooooooo expensive.
there must be an answer!
i know thatgrants are available but even then the cost is massive.
I'd like to establish one fact:
Does anyone know which oil fired boiler is the most energy efficient available in the uk?
my boiler is 15 - trianco - so getting old.
conflicting advice not to buy condensing oil boilers - whereas gas ones are recommended in condensing mode wtc.
what on earth is a green domestic goddess to do?
any suggestions?

- Hi Magnum,
I've just gone solar and have also just discovered moneysavingexpert. I'm very happy with my solar hot water system. I admit I've only had it just over a month but I will have heated all my hot water today for free and its March the 12th! I've logged my experience on my websitesolarkent . As to changing your oil fired boiler. Think carefully as thereare very few gains to be made, basically an oil fired boiler is a jacket of hot water with an oil fire in the middle! There's not that much more to do to make them more efficient and the environmental cost of replacing a boiler before end of life can easily offset any marginal efficiency savings.
