Boilers

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

• ENERGY STAR qualified boilers have an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating of 85% or greater.

• They achieve greater efficiency with improved features, including:

  • electric ignition, which eliminates the need to have the pilot light burning all the time
  • new combustion technologies that extract more heat from the same amount of fuel
  • sealed combustion that uses outside air to fuel the burner, reducing draft and improving safety

Remember, saving energy prevents pollution.

By choosing ENERGY STAR and taking steps to optimize the performance of your heating equipment, you are helping to prevent global warming and promoting cleaner air while enhancing the comfort of your home.
