As the price of fuel goes up, many Americans are looking for ways to save money and energy at home.
Homeowners are rethinking old ways of heating and getting hot water because they are under pressure to save money and use less energy. For example, they are looking into wall-hung boiler technology.
Wall-hung boilers have been common in European homes for the past 30 years, and they are starting to become a popular way to heat homes and businesses in North America as well.
For example, Baxi Luna wall-hung boilers are helping homeowners all over the U.S. cut in half the amount of fuel they use to heat their homes and make hot water. These boilers are fully modulating, which means they start at a high-fire position that has already been set and slowly lower the amount of fuel they use until the heating needs are met. At this point, the boiler will turn off by itself.
The Baxi Luna boiler is said to be one of the quietest on the market. It can be powered by either propane or natural gas. A Baxi Luna boiler is about the same size as a kitchen cabinet and can be put in the closet. This saves valuable living space in homes up to 6,000 square feet.
Commercial buildings are also more efficient because of the boiler. For example, in Biddeford, Maine, an expert in heating put eight Baxi Luna high-efficiency condensing boilers in the City Hall and City Theatre this year. People who live in the city think that the new heating system will cut fuel use by at least 50% and save taxpayers money, even though fuel costs are going up.
The American Gas Association and the Canadian Standards Association both agree that Baxi Luna wall-hung boilers are safe to use. The Energy Star and H-Stamp ratings give consumers peace of mind that the boilers use energy efficiently (for operating effectiveness).
These products are good for the environment and are quiet enough to put in the back of a big closet or even in the master bedroom. They work well with any type of air handler, wall or baseboard radiator, and custom radiant applications like heated towel racks or snow melt.
