Boilers

If your facility's boiler is more than 10 years old, you may be overspending on your annual energy costs.


Uses

A boiler is used to provide energy in the form of steam or hot water to meet process applications or building heating requirements. Boilers can range in size from very small residential boilers (20,000 Btu/hours) to boilers that produce energy and consume millions of Btu/hours.

  • Commercial boilers offer space heating with possible incidental use in process applications.
  • Industrial boilers provide process heat with incidental use for space heating.

Compare
