What Makes a Boiler “High Efficiency”?
A boiler works by heating water, which is conducted through radiators, radiant floor systems, or a coil. With a standard boiler, some of the energy used to heat the boiler, whether it is a fossil fuel or natural gas, is lost in the process of conducting. A high-efficiency boiler is designed to trap the escaping heat and direct it back into heating the home.
Low efficiency means that fuel is wasted. Boilers over ten years old only have 50-70% efficiency ratings. That means they use 50-70% of the fuel to heat the house, and the remaining 30-50% is wasted.
Along with saving fuel costs, a high-efficiency boiler will also help the environment. Because it uses less fuel, it creates less pollution. According to the calculations by ENERGY STAR, 29% of your home’s fuel use is in heating. In frigid climates, that percentage can be even higher. Therefore, the most significant thing you can do to reduce your home’s environmental impact is to have an efficient heating system.
Why You Should Upgrade From a Standard Boiler to a High-Efficiency Boiler
Because high-efficiency boilers are so good at converting fuel into usable heat, they reduce the fuel needed to heat your home, reducing the cost. How much of a savings depends on the AFUE of the boiler it is replacing. The U.S. Department of Energy suggests that replacing an old boiler with a new high-efficiency one may reduce your fuel bills in half.
It is important to realize that replacing any boiler over ten years old will generally save you a lot of money on fuel use. Plus, a good rule of thumb is that the longer you plan to stay in your home, the more you will save. Call us for a free estimate at 734-341-7421
