Boiler with a Brain!

Check out Beta American’s own Pete Monahan in this edition of NewlyGreen’s.

Watch as Pete helps Greg and Connie replace their 50 year old behemoth of a boiler with a brand new, modulating condenser super high efficiency model.

The new boiler is smart enough to adjust the water temperature within the system based on outside air temperature, resulting in huge savings for these homeowners. In other words, the boiler has brains and only uses the energy it needs to keep the house warm.

Efficiency is further improved with the use of a heat recovery condenser in the chimney. Already heated air is pulled back into the system, where the heat is “scrubbed-out” and recycled towards heating more water.

Adding zones increases comfort in rooms where you need heat most and makes for smart savings. By using wireless thermostats, Pete helped Greg and Connie create independent zones throughout the house. The thermostats communicate back to the boiler and make requests for more or less hot water.

All of this combined for an increase in efficiency from 50% with the old system to 94% with the new one.

The bottom line: these green homeowners now save 47% on their monthly heating bill.
