DD, I don't care what some jumped up penpushing suit in Europe says, if you want to be suckered into that nonsense
That is how they do it. If you don't believe them that is up to you. But when you see efficiencies quoted of over 100%, post back and thank me for telling you why.
I know that is how some European boiler manufacturers calculate their efficiencies, I have known this for years, I can guarantee that I have been installing condensing boilers long before you even knew about them, but the figure of over 100% that some use does not make them right, it is simply a marketing ploy that relies on suckers like you.
You really don't know - it was clear you had never heard of the 109% scale. . It is used to give a direct comparison to older boilers. If a 10-15 year old non-condensing boiler was rated at 80% on the sensible heat only scale using the 109% scale gives a direct comparison. Get it? Clever people these Europeans.
Please, do you think you are the only one who has heard of boiler manufacturers claiming efficiencies of over 100%, it is only suckers like you that pay attention to nonsense like that, the rest of us carry on with the real world.
Marketing people must love you, I bet you believe everything you see or read.
As said you didn't know how an why. Now you do so stop digging a hole for yourself. Just say, "thanks Doctor Drivel I didn't know that". Much easier that way.
