WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A HIGHER EFFICIENCY, DIRECT-VENTED BOILER?
Direct-vented boilers run at a higher thermal efficiency, meaning less of your heating dollars are escaping up the stack. Multiple stage firing is usually standard on these units. Staging saves gas consumption and prolongs the life of the boiler. These units run quieter because of their sealed combustion chamber, and they emit much cleaner air than their less efficient brothers. Lastly, because they are not relying on the free flow of air for combustion, but a fan-induced flow instead, the boilers take up a much smaller footprint and require lesser clearances. This saves space in tight equipment rooms.
