 | Boiler For Today Types, Cost, And Controls
Today, engineers, acting on the behalf of building owners, have a variety of choices when selecting hydronic heating boilers for their facilities. Choices for boilers include sectional cast iron; steel tube boilers, either firetube or watertube; copper finned-tube boilers; and condensing boilers. All of these various design types are used in projects today.

 | Customizable Solutions: A Top Priority for Boiler Manufacturers
During the past 20 years, there have been significant advancements in boiler design and controls that have helped manufacturers provide tailored solutions to customers. Over the next decade and beyond, this trend will continue. Not only will manufacturers provide customized solutions, but they will use financial metrics to develop the best solution for a given customer.

Don't Get Burned By A Boiler Retrofit Project
When
it comes to that unexpected (and unwelcome) development, it’s
usually less a case of if than when. Avoiding confusion over the
specific technical scope of work up front, keeping an eye on codes
and insurance, and considering contingencies for discovered problems
along the way will smooth the path as much as possible.

 | The Way I See It: Saving Billions — One Customer At A Time
Generating and using energy efficiently
should be a no-brainer. Why would anyone want to spend more money
than they have to, foolishly over-use limited energy resources, and
emit more into the air and water than they have to in order to
prosper, provide jobs, and live in comfort? Why would anyone ignore
inarguable evidence that a relatively small investment in their home
or business (or factory) can save money, resources, actually pay for
itself after a reasonable period of time, and even selfishly yield
some important ongoing public relations value to the business?
