1 Simple Trick to Get the Most Of Your Condensing Boiler

Want to get the most from your condensing boiler? Lower the temperature.
by Roy Collver

One of the most effective energy saving technologies we have available to us right now, is the condensing boiler. Coupled with a well-designed low temperature hydronic heating system, it is easy to produce a 30% to 50% or more reduction in fuel […]

Sizing a Pellet-Fueled Boiler

Sizing a Pellet-Fueled Boiler
Bigger is NOT better
There are several types of boilers that can burn wood-based fuels. They include 2- stage wood-gasification boilers, wood chip boilers, and pellet-fueled boilers. Of these, pellet-fuel boilers come closest to mimicking the fully automatic operation of oil and gas- fired boilers. Modern pellet boilers can automatically load their fuel, […]
