How does a condensing boiler work?

The condensing boiler recovers the heat contained in the exhaust flue gases, which would be lost in a traditional boiler. By condensing the water vapour, it also harnesses this energy to heat the water in the system. The result is an efficiency above 100% referred to the lower heating value, with lower gas consumption for the same amount of heat produced. These boilers are designed for both heating and the production of domestic hot water.

How many kW does your home need?

The power in kW is chosen according to the square metres, the insulation and the number of bathrooms to serve. In our catalogue you'll find mainly these sizes:

  • 24 kW: apartments up to about 100 m² with a single bathroom, the most common size.
  • 28 kW: homes from 100 to 130 m² or properties with two bathrooms and a higher hot water demand.
  • 32 kW and above: large homes, villas or systems with a high domestic hot water requirement.

If you're looking for a wall-mounted model to save space, also check the selection of wall-hung boilers.

How much do you save compared with a traditional boiler?

Thanks to recovering the heat from the flue gases, a condensing boiler uses less gas than an old atmospheric boiler. The saving is most evident on low-temperature systems, such as underfloor heating, but it's also significant with normal radiators, especially when the boiler modulates its power according to the home's actual demand. In many cases the replacement pays for itself within a few years thanks to lower consumption and tax incentives.

Energy class and efficiency

Almost all condensing boilers fall into energy class A for heating, while efficiency in producing hot water depends on the declared tapping profile. A high seasonal efficiency means lower consumption throughout the year. Condensing technology, combined with good control and a programmable thermostat, lets you make the most of every cubic metre of gas.

The best brands available

You'll find the leading manufacturers in the sector, with official warranty and available spare parts: Ariston, Beretta, Vaillant, Immergas, Riello, Bosch, Ferroli and Baxi. Prices start at around 420 euros and reach the most complete high-power solutions, for every budget.

Tax incentives and reduced VAT

Replacing an old boiler with a condensing model may qualify for tax incentives where applicable, such as reduced VAT for renovation work. The efficiency required and the percentages depend on the type of work, so it's best to check the up-to-date requirements before purchase, especially if you also add a thermostatic valve or a temperature control system.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a condensing boiler and a traditional one?
The condensing boiler recovers the heat from the exhaust flue gases, which is lost in a traditional boiler. This allows higher efficiency and lower gas consumption for the same amount of heat produced.
How many kW should the boiler have for an apartment?
For an apartment up to about 100 m² with a single bathroom, 24 kW is usually enough. For larger homes or those with two bathrooms, it's better to step up to 28 kW or more, depending on the hot water demand.
Are condensing boilers entitled to tax incentives?
Yes, in many cases replacing with a high-efficiency condensing boiler qualifies for tax incentives where applicable, such as reduced VAT for renovation work. The conditions depend on the type of work, so it's best to check the up-to-date requirements.
Does a condensing boiler also produce domestic hot water?
Yes, most combi models produce both the heat for heating and the domestic hot water for the bathrooms. For high demand there are versions with a storage tank that ensure more hot water in a short time.
What energy class do these boilers have?
Almost all condensing boilers fall into energy class A for heating. Efficiency in producing hot water, on the other hand, depends on the tapping profile declared by the manufacturer.
Is it worth switching to condensing even with radiators?
Yes, the saving is greatest with low-temperature systems, but it remains worthwhile with normal radiators too, especially when the boiler modulates its power according to the home's actual demand.
