Always striving to stay on the cutting edge of technology, energy suppliers and boiler manufacturers have to work very hard indeed to remain competitive and offer the best boiler technology available. British Gas, in particular, is always looking for better ways to save energy and thereby save its customers money. By finding, developing and investing in the latest advances in new and exciting environmental products, British Gas has demonstrated a progressive and responsible attitude to energy conservation for the benefit of both the consumer and the environment. Here are some examples of the new technologies being explored:

Wind Turbines

By partnering with WindSave, British Gas is working to bring wind-generated electricity to the UK. Domestic wind turbines installed on the roof of a home can power a TV and DVD player, computer, fridge and freezer, as well as several lights. Most importantly, however, you will receive huge savings on your annual electricity bill.

Solar Thermal Panels
