You can get efficiencies of up to 60 % by installing a gas combi boiler and getting rid of the hot water storage tank. A combi condensing boiler is more economical than a stock gas combi boiler as it extracts heat from the hot flue gases and uses it to heat water. The gas requirements of the boiler are significantly reduced as it reuses the flue gases warmth.
