Does the Sapphire work on Kerosene?

Yes, the Sapphire has been extensively tested on Kerosene and works perfectly with this fuel.

Does the Sapphire work on HVO?

Yes, the Sapphire has been extensively tested on HVO and works perfectly with this fuel, making this boiler futureproofed.

Can HVO be used in my existing tank?

There should be no reason why HVO cannot be stored in the tank you have, providing it is well maintained.

We recommend that kerosene levels are as low as possible before making the swap, and the tank is cleaned as part of the conversion process.

What does modulating mean?

Modulating control means the heating power is increased or reduced based on the actual output needed, therefore reducing your heating bills by using less fuel and electrical consumption.
