The large boilerhouse chimney that served the four old oil-fired boilers is unused since they were replaced by modern gas-fired boilers, which only need the three small and much less obtrusive chimneys. Savings from the £1 million project are estimated to be £450000 pa, with boiler efficiency increased from 58% to 80%, and carbon emissions are significantly reduced. http://www.etaenergy.co.uk/
