Our popular library of content dealing with boilers and beyond – steam, radiant HVAC, biomass, hydronics, piping, water heaters, and more for retrofits and new construction.
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.

The high expense of decarbonizing mechanical rooms can be lessoned, says Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar
Video: Building managers are often asking contractors for three different bids: One all gas, another with electrical and resistive systems, and then option C: heat pumps.
Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar, sat down with ES Magazine for a podcast interview discussing mechanical room decarbonization and retrofits. Here is a transcribed and edited excerpt of the conversation.
