Choosing a Boiler Fuel

Gas boilers are the most commonly used fuel source in the UK. However, nearly 3.6m households all around the UK have no relation with gas lines. This means they need to find off-grid alternatives to natural gas. More often than not, oil boilers are installed where there is no access to gas. Oil is not an environmentally friendly fuel source which is probably causing the increase in LPG being used as an alternative to gas instead. LPG use is still fairly low in comparison to gas and oil but we predict there will be continued growth in households making the switch to decrease their carbon footprint.

Natural gas is the most widely used gas in the UK and it is also the cheapest available. Gas is a fossil fuel which means it was formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. Burning it contributes to global warming, however, it is the cleanest of all the fossil fuels. The CO2 emissions are half that of oil and a third of those produced by coal.
