As federal, state and local governments place an increased focus on a decarbonized future, the quest for energy efficiency and sustainability has become more critical than ever. While electrification can certainly help meet the decarbonization goals, high-efficiency condensing boilers are also a possible solution to bridge the gap between where we are now and where we are heading.
“Laars Heating Systems has expanded its higher efficiency, condensing boiler offerings over the past few years,” says Chuck O’Donnell, director of marketing for Laars Heating Systems. “This has largely been driven by increased customer demand, especially noting the ease of replacement from older, less efficient boilers to our new high-efficiency designs. The availability of incentives has also contributed to the increase in demand. Gas-fired boiler combustion technology has advanced, resulting in high-efficiency levels and low NOx emissions, minimizing impact to the environment. Electric residential boilers, as well as boilers that can work in systems with heat pumps as a “hybrid” system, are growing in popularity, as well. However, homeowners should confirm that heat pump-based systems can operate reliably while handling their heating load in cold climates. High efficiency boilers will continue to be needed to help bridge the gap between the current state and an electrified future.”
