Condensing Boilers - A More Efficient and Inexpensive Way to Heat Your Home

A condensing boiler is a home heating system that is designed to recoup energy that conventional furnaces and boilers lose. A condensing boiler can achieve up to 98% thermal energy efficiency and can save you up to 40% on your home heating bill.

A condensing boiler is a home heating system that is designed to recoup energy that conventional furnaces and boilers lose.  Most houses have small pipes that discharge excess heat out through the roof - they often look like small chimneys.   Condensing boilers capture this excess energy and put it to use. The reason for the name is that a condensing boiler literally condenses the water vapor produced by the consumption of gas or oil in the boiler condenses back into water.  This condensation, in turn, allows the latent heat involved in the vaporization of the water to be used usefully in heating your home.

Ground Source (Also Called Geothermal) Heat Pumps - Heat And Cool Your Home Without Gas Or Oil

Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs), often called geothermal heat pumps, tap into the heat naturally generated many meters below the surface of the earth.  They allow people to heat and cool their homes and produce hot water without having to use expensive and carbon-producing fossil fuels such as oil and gas.

Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs), often called geothermal heat pumps, tap into the heat naturally generated many meters below the surface of the earth.  Just a little ways down, the earth’s temperature is warm and relatively stable, so these systems can bring controllable and effective heating, cooling, and hot water to residential and commercial buildings.  Best of all, they allow people to do all this without having to use expensive and carbon-producing fossil fuels such as oil and gas.
