English term or phrase: Combi boilers
Good morning all,
I believe these are some sort of energy saving boilers that work on both gaz and electricity. I just can't find any convincing translation in Arabic. I thought of غلايات التوفير, but not sure this could be the best translation. So what do you think?
Here's the sentence for more context:
"I've heard people who's had their combi boilers fitted in before me, that they saved a lot of money on their gaz bills and electric bills".

Explanation:
Combi – short for "combination" – boilers are the most popular form of boiler in the United Kingdom, accounting for more than 50% of new condensing boiler sales. A combi boiler is, as the name suggests, a highly efficient water heater and central heating boiler combined in a single unit.

Water is heated on demand from within the unit itself, so a combi boiler (unlike a conventional boiler -- which typically requires a copper cylinder in an airing cupboard or elsewhere to store hot water) can be a practical solution if space within your home is at a premium. Combi boilers are typically compact; they can be hung conveniently on a kitchen wall, for example ; and their installation is less disruptive and less expensive than that of conventional boilers.

Explanation:
I think they are more of space saving boilers not energy saving as per the following explanation:

A combi (or combination) boiler is an ingenious space-saving idea, and an increasingly popular choice in UK homes. In fact, combis now account for well over half of all the new domestic boilers installed in Britain every year.

combi boilers
غلايات موفرة في إستهلاك الطاقة = غلايات إقتصادية في إستهلاك الطاقة


Explanation:
وهو نوع حديث من غلايات المياه يهدف لتوفير الطاقة المستخدمة لتسخين المياه (غالباً توفير الغاز) وذلك عبر مكثف يمتص الحرارة من أدخنة العادم الخارجة ويعيد إستخدامها في تسخين دورة ماء التدفئة أوماء الإستعمال المنزلي (الصحي) وسعرها يعتبر اغلي من الغلايات العادية إلا انها علي مدار السنين تكون إقتصادية مثلها مثل سخان المياه الشمسي الذي يكون مكلفاً عند تركيبه إلا أنه علي المدار البعيد يكون إقتصاديا
