Start Saving Now!
Many old boilers operate at
around 60% efficiency. This
means that 40% of your fuel dol-
lars are wasted. A Series 2 boiler,
with an AFUE of up to 84%, can
reduce your heating bills by as
much as 28%. Your Series 2 boiler
virtually pays for itself in a few
short years by saving money
spent on fuel the old system is
wasting.
Use the following formula (il-
lustrated at bottom) to compare
the Series 2 boiler to the 60%
efficiency of a typical 20-year-old
boiler.
In the example shown, the
homeowner could realize a $429
savings the first year alone. Check
with your contractor to calculate
your savings potential.
