We can all help combat the effects of climate change by making choices that reduce our carbon emissions. From individuals to businesses, it’s the decisions we take today that will shape our future.
The most important action any of us should take now is to improve the insulation in our homes and then ensure our gas boiler is as efficient as possible; this will both reduce household emissions and save energy. If you want to futureproof your home heating, you can ‘go hybrid’ or ‘heat pump’. Xtend is our hybrid heating system that combines a high-efficiency gas boiler and air source heat pump (ASHP), which cuts gas consumption by up to 82.5%; Xceed is our monobloc ASHP which cuts out carbon emissions completely. If you’d like to know more about Xtend, you can check it out here and you can check out Xceed here.

We’ve been working towards a greener future for over 35 years. In 1989, we designed one of the most energy-efficient boilers on the planet: the condensing boiler; in 2017, we designed the X Range of boilers, which has the lowest NOx emissions of any on the market; in 2018, we opened a new R&D lab specifically to work on creating a prototype all-hydrogen boiler and we’re now at a stage where we can provide heating solutions that are 100% green. If you’d like to know more about our journey to 100% hydrogen, please click here.
In 2022 we launched our Xtend hybrid heating system which cuts gas consumption by up t 82.5% and in 2024 we launched Xceed, our all-electric air source heat pump which has no harmful emissions and Xylinders, our range of direct, indirect, pre-plumbed and heat pump cylinders which have super-fast heat transfer and cylinder recovery.
