Why ATAG Boilers Are the Best in the Industry for Energy Efficiency and Reliability

Important considerations when selecting a new boiler include energy efficiency, durability, and sustainability. ATAG boilers excel in these areas, making them the go-to choice for homeowners who value high performance and cost savings.

Unrivalled Energy Efficiency

A highly energy-efficient heating system reduces energy costs and helps minimize your home's carbon footprint. ATAG boilers are renowned for their A-rated energy efficiency, with a 94% efficiency score, meaning that nearly all their energy is converted into heat. This high efficiency ensures your home stays warm while using less fuel, making it cost-effective and sustainable.

"A-rated energy efficiency, with a 94%
efficiency score"

DDWilson Research responds to and acts on industry data to help our customers.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, upgrading from an outdated boiler to a high-efficiency boiler like those from ATAG can save you up to £315 per year on your energy bills. Over the lifespan of your boiler, which can be as long as 15 years, this can result in more than £5,000 in savings.

Built to Last: The iCon Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger

ATAG boilers are so durable because of their iCon stainless steel heat exchanger. This component is more resilient than other boiler brands' aluminium heat exchangers, offering superior corrosion resistance and limescale build-up. The stainless steel heat exchanger is more efficient at transferring heat. It ensures your boiler lasts much longer with fewer breakdowns and repairs.

The iCon stainless steel heat exchanger comes with a lifetime guarantee, proving that it's built to endure and maintain efficiency over the long term. The heat exchanger ensures minimal degradation over time, making ATAG boilers one of the most reliable and cost-effective choices.

Environmentally Friendly Technology

As the UK pushes toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, it's more important than ever to consider the environmental impact of your home heating system. ATAG boilers are among the most environmentally friendly on the market, featuring low NOx emissions (Nitrogen Oxide). These eco-friendly boilers help reduce harmful pollutants while lowering your household's carbon footprint. By upgrading to an ATAG boiler, you invest in an energy-efficient heating system and make a sustainable environmental choice. These environmentally friendly boilers allow you to heat your home efficiently without compromising the planet's health.

Heating accounts for 55% of household energy consumption in the UK. Switching to an environmentally friendly boiler like ATAG's can significantly reduce household energy consumption and lower carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.

The Problem with Outdated and Inefficient Boilers

Suppose your boiler is over 10 years old. In that case, you're likely paying more than needed for heating, experiencing more frequent breakdowns, and struggling with uneven heat distribution. These are some of the most common issues with older systems, and how switching to a high-efficiency boiler from ATAG can resolve them.

Higher Energy Bills

Old boilers, especially those that aren't A-rated, often operate at 60-70% efficiency. This means 30-40% of energy is wasted, translating to higher energy bills for less heat. Energy-efficient heating systems, like ATAG's, solve this problem by converting almost all energy into usable heat.

Comparison

An old boiler operating at 70% efficiency could cost you £300-£400 more per year compared to a new ATAG boiler, which operates at 94% efficiency. Over 10 years, that's an extra £3,000-£4,000 spent on wasted energy.

Feature	ATAG Boiler	Old Boiler
Energy Efficiency	94% (A-Rated)	60-70%
Warranty	18 Years	5-10 Years
Heat Exchanger Material	Stainless Steel	Aluminium
Annual Energy Savings	Up to £315	Minimal
Environmental Impact	Low NOx Emissions (Eco-Friendly)	High NOx Emissions (Not Eco-Friendly)
Frequency of Breakdowns	Rare	Frequent
Lifespan	18+ Years	10-12 Years

Frequent Breakdowns and Expensive Repairs

As boilers age, they become more prone to breakdowns. Many older systems, especially those with aluminium heat exchangers, suffer from corrosion and limescale build-up, resulting in frequent repair calls. Over time, constant repairs can easily surpass the cost of installing a new boiler.

According to a Which? In a survey, 37% of homeowners with boilers over 12 years old experience frequent breakdowns, with average repair costs of £200 per call-out. In contrast, the stainless steel heat exchanger in ATAG boilers significantly reduces the likelihood of such issues, cutting down on long-term maintenance costs. Poor Heating Performance and Uneven Heat Distribution

Older systems often need to distribute heat evenly across the home. This can lead to cold spots in radiators and inefficient heating, making your home less comfortable. Much of this is due to sludge build-up within the system, which blocks radiators and reduces circulation. Installing a MagnaClean filter alongside your new ATAG boiler helps prevent magnetite build-up in your radiators, ensuring consistent heat distribution. By investing in an energy-efficient heating system, you not only save on energy costs but also improve overall heating performance.

Flexible Finance Options

At DD Wilson, everyone should have access to a high-quality, energy-efficient heating system. That's why we offer flexible finance plans, including 0% interest financing, so you can spread the cost of your new ATAG boiler and any associated services like boiler maintenance or boiler replacement.

Maximizing Your System's Performance: Power Flushing and MagnaClean Filters

To ensure your ATAG boiler operates at peak efficiency for years to come, DD Wilson offers power flushing services and MagnaClean filter installation. These services maintain the longevity and performance of your energy-efficient heating system.

Power Flushing for Maximum Efficiency

Over time, sludge and debris can build up in your system, leading to poor performance and higher energy consumption. A power flush cleans your system using high-velocity water and chemicals to remove this build-up, restoring your boiler's efficiency.

Without regular power flushing, systems can lose up to 25% of their efficiency due to debris build-up. A power flush can help prevent this, ensuring that your energy-efficient heating system operates at its full potential.

MagnaClean Filter: Preventing Future Build-Up

Once the power flush is complete, we recommend installing a MagnaClean filter. This filter continuously captures debris and particles before they clog your system, ensuring the long-term performance of your ATAG boiler.

How DD Wilson and ATAG Can Save You Money in the Long Run

By choosing DD Wilson to install your ATAG boiler, you're investing in an energy-efficient heating system that will save you money over time.

The stainless steel heat exchanger and 18-year warranty ensure that your ATAG boiler will require fewer repairs, saving you from unexpected maintenance costs. The extended warranty covers any boiler maintenance or replacement needs within the warranty period.
