Compared to boilers and furnaces, oil and gas central heating systems are highly efficient. Traditional central heating instalations can lose almost half of its heat. This is inherent with the way boilers and furnaces burn fuel. The lose of heat is inevitable.

Boilers and furnaces must take out combustion by products out through the chimney. Traditional boilers and furnaces can be made more efficient to save some dollars that you spend on heating.

Most homes are equipped with heating systems that have higher capacities than what is required to keep homes warm. This results in wastage of heat during times when the heating system is operation or even when the gas central heating system is in the off-cycle.

A quick fix to this problem is to downsize. This means you will have to adjust the rate of burning the fuel. In a gas central heating system, this is done by reducing the size of the burner opening. The fuel delivery tubes should also be adjusted.

The efficient burning of fuel is also another way of reducing heating costs. By maximizing fuel combustion efficiency in a gas central heating system, more heat can be derived from the same amount of fuel. This translates into a lot of savings for you.

You can either improve an existing gas central heating system or you may have to replace the system entirely if it is too old. You can calculate the cost of improving an existing gas central system again replacing an old one. If you find that the price of improving an existing is close to, or the same as, replacing the existing system, then replacing the gas central heating system would be the best option.

Improving your system for fuel combustion efficiency and system efficiency may cost some money in the beginning but the long term savings will be more than enough to cover for it. An added bonus is that an efficient gas central heating system is more friendly to the environment compared to the unoptimized heating systems.
