A condensing boiler is a furnace or boiler that is super efficient and therefore money-saving.  Condensing boilers are designed to capture ans reuse energy that conventional furnaces and boilers discharge.  The name "Condensing Boiler" describes what these systems do: literally condensing the water vapor produced by the conventional consumption of gas or oil in the boiler or furnace.  The heat involved in the vaporization process can be used to heat your home.

As of 2011, condensing boilers sales are rising at a fast pace.  You've come to the right place to learn more about these green alternative energy syetsms!  Thank you for visiting!

A condensing boiler is a furnace or boiler that is specifically designed to recoup energy that conventional furnaces and boilers lose through the pipes that discharge excess heat out through the roof. Instead of allowing this heated air to escape, condensing boilers capture this excess energy and put it to good use.

The reason for the name "Condensing Boiler" is that it literally condenses the water vapor produced by the conventional consumption of gas or oil in the boiler or furnace back into water. The latent heat involved in the vaporization of the water ends up becoming useful in heating your home.

As of 2008, condensing boilers are now replacing "conventional" systems in Europe at a fast pace. While the Netherlands led the way, now other nations, particularly those with aggressive "green" goals, have also joined the rush toward the use of condensing boiler technology. In the United States there has been a more recent serious look at condensing boilers on a large scale, not so much because of government subsidies but because gas and oil prices have skyrocketed.

So, what would the conversion to a condensing boiler system instead of your regular furnace mean to your home and family? A condensing boiler achieves up to 98% thermal energy efficiency while the system you have now probably only reaches 70%-80% efficiency. This could lead to a 30-40% savings on your home heating bill. And best of all, you will be reducing you and your family's "carbon footprint" by installing a condensing boiler.

Right now, condensing boilers are up to 50% more expensive to buy and install than conventional types of oil and gas furnaces and boilers. While state and federal grants and rebates might help offset that additional money, the real savings is on the ongoing fuel bill, where the extra cost could be recovered in about 2-5 years at US 2008 oil and gas prices.

It’s a fact that after a relatively short period of time, your condensing boiler will be saving you money each and every day you heat your home!

Condensing Boilers are worth looking in to.
