What features distinguish an ENERGY STAR boiler from standard boilers?
Get More Heat Efficiency With ENERGY STAR Boiler
Boilers with the ENERGY STAR label use about 10 percent less energy than standard boilers, a big savings for homeowners. Look for these features on ENERGY STAR boilers:
* An electric ignition, which replaces a pilot light that burns constantly;
* New technology that enables the boiler to get more heat from less fuel;
* Sealed combustion that uses outside air to fuel the burner.
Expect to pay a little more for a new boiler and other ENERGY STAR heating and cooling appliances. But they pollute less, save energy, and lower monthly utility bills.
