“Upgrading my boiler has saved me hundreds of pounds on my energy bills”

-

Ann Harris lives in a 100-yearold gatekeeper’s cottage in Hertfordsh­ire. It’s a beautiful property but has no hard wall insulation; the combinatio­n of a hard-to-heat home and LPG prices that keep rising has led to Ann paying above the odds to try and stay warm. When her LPG boiler began to fail, she contacted heating engineer, Vic Lananntuon­o, of Vic’s Plumbing & Heating, to upgrade her boiler.

Vic recommende­d and installed an Intergas Eco RF 30. The compact dimensions of this combi make it ideal for a cottage like Ann’s; it also delivers 10.5L of water a minute, uses start-stop technology and has a full 10-year parts and labour warranty.

When Vic carried out the annual service last November, Ann said she’d realised fairly early on that the boiler was far more energy efficient than its predecesso­r. After a year with the Eco RF, Ann had ordered one less tank of LPG, equating to a saving of around £800 — and that’s despite the Beast from the East doing its worst.
