Many homes in Britain are still using older less efficient boilers in their home. Such boilers include the "back boiler" which is essentially a gas fire with a boiler built in to the rear of the fire surround. The flue gases usually exit the house via the chimney stack. This type of heating appliance can be replaced under the green deal plan as they are quite inefficient. Landlords and owners of social housing can also qualify for replacement boilers.
A typical back boiler looks like this:

The controls are hidden by a flap at the base of the gas fire. This type of heating appliance is often found in older property. Some of these boilers only have a 60% efficiency rating. This would achieve a "G" rating for an energy certificate. These types of boilers often need a higher level of maintenance and repair. In some cases spare parts are difficult to get and the costs can be high for service and repairs.
On the other hand, a modern condensing combi-boiler like the shown below can achieve a 90% efficiency rating. In addition you can get rid of your hot water cylinder as this type of boiler provides your hot water on demand so there is no waste by heating water you may not use. This type of boiler is "A" rated.
