    Mod = modulation = the ability to match heat output to heat loss.

    Con = condensing = the ability to extract the energy contained in the water produced by combustion before it exits the flue.

    Especially in the UK, it can mean "modern conveniences", as in "This house has all the mod cons". So a mod-con boiler is a mod con.
  • Could be a conservative moderate living in a new house...

    In which case you'd have a Con-Mod living in a mod con living with a mod-con...

    Sorry, could NOT resist:-)

    I thought a mod con was that nice guy from nigeria using the internet to share the wealth with the unsuspecting.

    contrary to popular belief it is not a modern confabulist...

    the words that are being used are real and do have meaning :) it just sounds like a foreign language *~/:)
