The built environment is not made up of the latest and greatest equipment that we see at tradeshows and greenfield construction sites. We're still using the old technologies, so can't we find some way to make them better?
In the complex world of building infrastructure, boilers are fundamental, serving as the cornerstone of heating systems. Much like maintaining personal health, ensuring a building’s boiler is in optimal condition is essential, particularly during the winter.
Electrode boilers have existed in various forms for many decades. However, recent design improvements have closed the output gap while surpassing conventional units — not only in terms of efficiency and simplicity but also responsiveness and safety.
Since building tenants rely on the electric boilers for hot water daily, investing a little more in the initial purchase can pay off dramatically in increased long-term reliability and longevity.
