These are gas-fuelled continuous flow water heaters that use “condensing technology” to increase their energy efficiency. It makes them 8 to 15 percent more efficient than a standard continuous flow water heater. This extra efficiency is possible as they preheat the incoming water with ‘waste’ heat extracted from the flue gas. This heat would otherwise […]

What’s the Difference Between Convective and Radiant Heating
What’s best – convective or radiant heating? There are three methods of heat transfer: conductive, convection and radiant. Conductive heat transfer occurs when objects of different temperatures come into direct, physical contact. Energy is transferred from the warmer object into the colder object. This is what’s happening when you touch
