How to reduce your hot water gas consumption by 21%

September 14, 2023

A Mixergy hot water cylinder, when connected to a gas or oil boiler, is the ideal transition solution to a gas-free home. Connect with your boiler now and save up to 21% on your consumption. Then when you’re ready to install solar PV or a heat pump, the same Mixergy tank will work seamlessly.

Made of stainless steel and with its advanced insulation and intelligent control system, it maximises heat retention and minimises energy wastage. This reduces your carbon footprint and translates into significant cost savings over time.

Energy Efficiency

All Mixergy hot water cylinders have our patented volumetric heating that heats from the top-down, so you only heat the water you need (in 10% increments). Our machine learning also works this out for you – so you don’t need to do this yourself – clever!

Because you aren’t heating a full tank, usable hot water is delivered ten times faster than a conventional hot water tank.

Savings

Mixergy’s technology reduces gas consumption by as much as 21%* compared to a conventional hot water cylinder.

Our energy claims have been independently verified by the Energy Saving’s Trust and result from reduced boiler short cycling through better temperature control.

Boiler short cycling

Boiler short cycling is a common issue that can occur with conventional hot water cylinders, but it is effectively eliminated with the innovative Mixergy hot water cylinder.

Short cycling refers to the boiler’s frequent on-off cycling, which wastes energy and puts unnecessary strain on the system. However, the Mixergy cylinder’s advanced temperature control system significantly reduces boiler short cycling, leading to improved energy efficiency and cost savings.

What about moving away from a boiler in the future

Another key benefit of a Mixergy tank is that it’s future-proof.

If your hot water cylinder needs replacing now and you connect it to your current boiler, and in the near future, you decide to remove or replace your boiler with an alternative energy source (for example, a heat pump, solar PV, or a both), you do not need to replace your Mixergy – it’s ready to connect to whichever energy source you choose. So you can continue to save energy.

But what about if you have a combi boiler

If you have a combi boiler and are used to instant hot water, you might wonder how a Mixergy hot water cylinder can benefit you.

Well, the good news is that the Mixergy cylinder is also compatible with a combi boiler!

Your existing combi boiler just needs connecting up slightly differently, so by plumbing a Mixergy into the central heating loop (i.e. what your radiators are connected to), the ‘combi’ part of your boiler is disconnected, effectively converting your combi boiler into a standard system boiler.

Choosing the best option for you

The Government’s Heat and Buildings Strategy is set to phase out the installation of natural gas boilers beyond 2023, so as more homeowners are moving away from instant hot water generated via gas combi boilers, the use of hot water cylinders is vital – especially for those looking to heat their water via renewable energy sources like solar PV or green technologies like heat pumps.

When choosing a hot water system for your home, it’s essential to understand the different options to select the best solution for your home.

Investing in the right solution will save you both money and energy both in the short and longer term.

How Mixergy hot water tanks save with a gas boiler

* Compared to a conventional hot water cylinder, the tank temperature is set to 65°C, and the boiler is set to 75°C.
