How do High-Efficiency Boilers Work?

High-efficiency boilers work a little differently than older models. These boilers have an electronic ignition, rather than a pilot light, that turns the appliance on as needed, which makes the boiler more energy efficient.
New, efficient boilers actually use heat from flue gases, which is normally wasted in older models. Using this heat, a high-efficiency model will preheat cold water, which makes the entire appliance and process more efficient.

Will I Notice a Difference?
Your old boiler may seem to be working, but is it actually efficient? Are you getting the most out of it? Most older boilers are only about 65 to 70 percent efficient while high-efficiency boilers can be as much as 97 percent efficient. Newer models produce heat much more efficiently and quickly, meaning you’ll be more comfortable, especially during the winter.
A high-efficiency water boiler can actually help you reduce your utility bills by as much as 30 percent. While it is true that buying and installing a high-efficiency boiler may be more costly than installing a traditional model, you will save a lot of money over the course of the boiler’s lifetime.
If your boiler is more than 20 years old, you should seriously consider upgrading it. Installing a high-efficiency boiler means your central air and hot water faucets will work more effectively and you’ll actually save money.
