Boiler Installations

Boilers distribute heat utilizing radiant heating. In most cases warmed water (or sometimes steam) is distributed to radiators where it releases its energy to your living space. For water boilers, alternative distribution systems include hot water baseboards, air handlers, or comfortable radiant heating. In all of these configurations, you can have multiple zones that each have their own thermostat to provide efficiency and precise temperature control throughout your home or business.

If you are considering replacing an existing boiler, at Vermont Energy we will inspect your existing system and recommend a range of system choices that would meet your needs. We offer high-quality boiler systems from Weil-McClain, Energy Kinetics, and Triangle Tube.

If you are considering a gas boiler system for your new home or business, you have a wide range of choices when considering a hydronic system:

• Distribution system type: hot water baseboard, in-floor radiant, or air handlers
• System venting: the products of combustion need to be vented safely to the outdoors. You can utilize a traditional masonry or b-vent chimney, or consider one of your new direct vent boiler systems that don’t require a chimney.
• Traditional cast-iron heat exchanger, or more efficient stainless steel. Traditional cast iron boilers are floor mounted in a utility space, while new high-efficiency systems can be wall-mounted saving you floor space.
• Efficiency: current gas boilers are rated at between 80% on 97% AFUE, which it the annual efficiency of combustion. The high the efficiency, the lower your energy cost will be.
• If you are a natural gas customer, you can get a rebate of up to $1100 for the purchase of a new high-efficiency boiler from Vermont Gas Systems. Click here for details.
