This makes it attractive for installations that do not have continuous heating demand (central heating, Hot Water in normal dwellings and buildings). The net result will be the efficiency improvement of the boilers, which is desirable. this means that even if you are using a non condensing boiler or an old boiler, no matter what its efficiency is, it will improve dramatically since the more heat is available the more electricity yu produce to send back to the grid and reduce your bill.

Changing from a commonsense approach to the much more forgiving “standard” approach explains why the first Carbon Trust interim report on the micro-CHP field trails was so bleak and the second was so rosy.    [...] [...] The nascent micro-CHP industry (expected to be worth £2billion per year across Europe) is using this flawed method to back up its sustainability claims.
