Ecogen - Dual Energy System converts heat into cheap electricity
Why consider a Next Generation Boiler
- Generates free electricity for you as well as doing the job of a regular boiler.
- Puts you more in control of your electricity needs.
Generating Electricity for your home:
- Ecogen can generate up to 30% of your electricity needs*.
- It generates 1kW of electricity every hour to run your household appliances.
- 1kW is enough to power ten 20W light bulbs, your TV, computer and washing machine.
Making you money by producing electricity
- Benefit from the government scheme called Feed-in-Tariff. (FiT)
- You get 10p for every kW of electricity the boiler generates and an additional 3p per kW for any unused electricity that you feed back to the national grid.
- Payments are guaranteed for 10 years.
- Only 30,000 grants available from the government so hurry now!
Easy to install and really reliable
- The Ecogen boiler is simple to install, just needing a single electricity supply.
- British Gas engineers and the boiler are both Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accredited, so you can be sure the installation will meet the required standards and qualify for the Feed-in-Tariff.
- Over a million test hours have also been completed.
How it works
- The Ecogen is a regular boiler that contains a Stirling engine. The gas burner fires up the Stirling engine which moves a piston inside a ring of magnets to generate electricity. This is very similar to how a car alternator works.
- Generates significant amounts of low carbon electricity.
- Cost effective energy efficiency device.
Considerations
- Current technology suited to larger homes, however smaller homes could be accommodated providing it has an attached garage or other suitable installation location.
- You will need a load bearing wall to install the Ecogen boiler.
- The Ecogen needs to be installed on the ground floor and cannot be installed above kitchen units.

Notes
* Assumes industry average standard gas consumption of 16500 kWh with a heat output of 14837 kWh and an industry average standard electricity consumption of 3300 kWh with 60/40% split between electricity used on-site/exported on a typical export tariff. Actual generation depends on individual usage/circumstances.
