I have this boiler:

It's 93% efficient. I've also seen this:

Is it worth buying such a thing? Or are these heat recovery thingies basically redundant with newer boilers? I've never heard of them before but it appears that the technology is at least 10 years old, so I wonder if it's something that's "built in" these days 

Also fwiw, I wouldn't ordinarily have installed a Vokera but the people before me did, so now I'm effectively stuck with it for a while
