Green @ Home

Great green upgrade of heating system! May be, the one of the best for entire home.

Here is the full story. Having the water heating system in the house it’s apparently important to have efficient boiler. The old one was oil-based and despite the good working condition was decommissioned due to incredible “efficiency” to burn fuel and waist heat into exhaust pipe.

The new one is EnergyStar-rated, sleek and high performance, fully automated wall-hanging unit using natural gas. It has ability to manage two separate contours – one for radiant heated floor in basement and another one for main floor radiator-style. It’s computerized and has temperature sensors for not only supplied water, but also for return, incoming from outside and outdoor air.
Depending on weather, it supposed to adjust mode on the fly to make sure the heating is provided with maximum efficiency. It’s amazing, but exhaust pipe is made from plastic – it’s really cold because all of the heat of burned gas is utilized 93%!
The ultimate difference that unit doesn’t heat water as much as possible; it heats it just right to provide minimal difference between radiator and room temperature and get minimal gas consuming.

The info about unit – Triangle Tube Solo110, natural gas model, limited warranty for 10 years.
