Capeless Plumbing and Heating
"The Boiler Guy"

If your heating system is more than twenty years old, you are sending hundreds of dollars every year right up your chimney.  In 1992 the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act  took effect, prior to that there were NO minimum efficiency standards for home heating appliances.  Many home heating appliances were manufactured at efficiency ratings of 75% or less.

Since 1992 heating system manufacturers have been steadily improving the efficiency ratings of their products. Now with emerging home heating and water heating technology you can install a heating system that operates at 95% + AFUE , that can mean savings up to 30% of your home heating costs.

Is your boiler properly sized for your home? You would be surprised to know that many heating systems are substantially larger than what you need to heat your home. All that excess heat goes right up your chimney and can cause the boiler to frequently turn on and off (short cycling) this also greatly reduces the life expectancy of your heating system. By replacing your oversized heating system with a properly sized heating system, you can not only save money by using less fuel but prolong the life of your heating system. A heat loss calculation can tell you how many Btu’s you need to heat your home.

Has your home been insulated? What about replacement windows? If you have made any of these energy efficiency improvements to your home, the amount of Btu’s needed to maintain 70 degrees in your home is a lot less than what you needed when your home was originally built.  This can also cause short cycling and a shortened boiler life.

Upgrading your underperforming heating system and water heating system to a high efficiency system is not as expensive as you might think.  With utility sponsored rebates of up to $2,000.00, tax credits and 0% financing programs with terms of  up to seven years, you can upgrade your heating system with virtually no money out of your pocket.
