The answer is no, because standing charges are already paid by the consumer whether they have an air conditioning heat pump system or not. All homeowners will pay a daily standing charge for electricity, but won't have pay standing charges for gas if using LPG gas bottles.

LPG boiler efficiencies are calculated the same as natural gas boilers, where the efficiency will vary be depending on the age, the central heating setup and how frequently the system is serviced.

Typically, a brand new A-Rated condensing boiler will suggest an ErP efficiency rating of around 92-94%. However, in real-life, system factors will generally pull the efficiency down to 90%.

To determine a more accurate boiler efficiency rating you can use the following figures that are based on a 10 year lifecycle.

TRACK A

This assumes your boiler is servied regularly

0 year  -  90.0%

1 year  -  89.7%

1 year        89.7%

2 years 89.4%

3 years 89.1%

4 years 88.8%

5 years 88.5%

6 years 88.2%

7 years 87.9%

8 years 87.6%

9 years 87.3%

10 years 87.0%

TRACK B

Based on a poorly maintained system

0 year          90.0%

1 year        89.0%

2 years 88.0%

3 years 87.0%

4 years 86.0%

5 years 85.0%

6 years 84.0%

7 years 83.0%

8 years 82.0%

9 years 81.0%

10 years 80.0%

Note

Poor boiler efficiency can be caused by any of the following issues:-

• Soot build-up
• Combustion setup drift
• Blocked condensate
• Heat exchanger issues
• Incorrect gas/air ratio
• User error - systems running too hot to condense properly. 

In short, if your boiler is not serviced regularly by a heating professional, your boiler could be costing 10% more to run.
