In my humble opinion, large volume, low curve promotes high standby efficiency and offers a sustainable future for your heating system. Sustainable systems promote long-term relationships with your customers along with great economics, too. That makes my business sustainable.

Have you impressed upon your technicians the need to routinely service mod-con boiler systems? Have you reviewed the maintenance records for systems installed by your firm? Are there any holes in the records? Are you and your customers at risk? It never hurts to check.

When it comes to figuring out what the market demands in a boiler, it usually comes down to the highest efficiencies possible along with advances in control technology. Indeed, efficiency and advanced control technologies were on display for most of the boilers introduced at the AHR Expo.

With four models supplying from 84,800-214,800 Btuh, and cascades of up to 16 units for even higher outputs, the Buderus GB142 modulating gas condensing boiler can provide sufficient heating comfort for any type and size of home or small to medium business, said the company.

In newer modulating/condensing boilers, many of their heat exchangers had to sacrifice two very desirable qualities in the interest of being small and light.
