A Forced Hot Water (FHW) Heating System is designed to efficiently provide energy distribution to heated areas. This is accomplished by combusting a fuel in a boiler and moving the…

Coal is our most plentiful yet most maligned source of energy. Generating the majority of our electrical power and fueling heavy industry, it has projected the United States from an…

We recently upgraded an oil boiler for a single, elderly WWII Veteran and self-admitted perfectionist. He built his home in 1956 with a brother and friends from sawing the lumber…

The popularity and performance of condensing gas technology hydronic (FHW) boilers is both noteworthy and deserved. Kicking up heating gas fuel (Natural & LP) efficiencies from the prior generation average…

  Our singular observation in over 50 years of hydronic (FHW) heating systems installation and service is this: Given any similar application, no two heating systems are configured the same,…

We have witnessed many technological breakthroughs in the past fifty (50) years or so. My engineering career began manufacturing the first transistors, through integrated circuits, personal computers, parallel-processing supercomputers and…

If you have read our other blogs you will note that we are advocates of using a Heat Loss Calculator to determine your heating system boiler size and radiation requirements….

Having now maintained our own interior, Integrated Wood & Oil Heating System since 1975 and more recently coupling Outdoor Wood Boilers to our Weil-McLain FHW Heating Systems,  we are motivated…

With the “Fracking Effect” of plentiful, relatively inexpensive natural gas upon us, there is a heating system conversion rush from oil, and justifiably so. However, this rush borders as all…
