How does a condensing central heating unit work and what makes it more efficient? If a traditional heating unit heat is released only by burning fuel or consuming electricity, a condensing one introduces a new process that reuses \u00a0energy after burning, storing it and using it to increase the system’s capacity. Here are the advantages and disadvantages\u00a0of choosing a condensing\u00a0<\/strong>central heating unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n
A conventional heating unit typically offers around 84% efficiency, while a condensing one goes up to 95 – 100% on average.<\/p>\n
Also, a condensing unit that is correctly installed can have a capacity of over 100% (meaning it consumes less than the amount of heat it provides).<\/p>\n
