Building a new home gives you the freedom to select an efficient heating system. Opting for a high-performance boiler minimizes energy use and long-term costs, drawing from years of industry expertise in sustainable home heating solutions.
Low-temperature boilers have gained popularity for their impressive thermal efficiency of 90-94%, achieved without excessive energy demands. Traditional boilers require around 60°C to heat homes and supply domestic hot water effectively. In contrast, low-temperature models operate efficiently at just 38-40°C, emitting zero polluting gases.
This translates to approximately 15% savings on heating bills. These boilers cap at 60°C maximum, and pairing them with underfloor or wall heating systems maximizes performance—ideal for new constructions. For optimal longevity, schedule annual maintenance with a qualified professional specializing in these units.
Key considerations include your budget, which narrows model options, and desired functions: heating only or combined with hot water production. Mixed models suit the latter need.
While low-temperature boilers lost tax credit eligibility after August 1, 2009, condensing boilers remain eligible. They outperform standard models by 20-30% in fuel efficiency, helping new homes achieve the Low Consumption Building (BBC) label—a standard embraced by most German and Dutch households.
The French government supports adoption through tax incentives. Emitting no CO2, these eco-friendly units align with environmental protection goals. Prices vary by fuel type (wood, oil, gas) and installation (floor-mounted or wall-hung). Compact wall models save space and fit garages, basements, or cellars seamlessly.
