Boiler maintenance products

Many householders only pay attention to their boilers when there is a failure and it needs to be repaired. The costs associated with these boiler repairs are typically high both in labor, much of which is done on an overtime basis, and the associated downtime. By far this is the least desirable approach to boiler maintenance. Therfor, a regular proactive maintenance program pays dividends when you have peak boiler performance. The goal of annual boiler maintenance is to have all of the components of the boiler inspected, ensuring they are in proper working condition.

Houseneeds sells several products that will help maintain your boiler system. Please find information about these products in this email.

Houseneeds.com Installs an Empyre Phase II Elite XT Wood Boiler

Houseneeds.com, The Vermont based internet seller of energy efficient, environmentally friendly heating and ventilation products, has announced that they have finished the installation of a brand New Empyre Elite XT 200 Outdoor Wood Gasification Boiler. The Boiler, which resembles a small house, or a large dog house, is located on Houseneeds’ front lawn at 4805 Main Street in Waitsfield. Houseneeds plans on using the new Boiler as their primary source of heat.

All Empyre Wood Boilers use a process called wood gasification to produce super efficient combustion in the boiler’s dual burn chambers. There are five elements that work together to create this 89-90% efficient, clean burning, and environmentally safe Wood Gasification process:

The Firebox is where the wood burns from the bottom up, drying the top layer. The fire brick lining absorbs heat and maintains burn chamber temperatures to reignite quickly
on demand.

Exhaust is then forced down into the lower burn chamber.
The Lower Burn Chamber is where the exhaust burns at up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, eliminating virtually all smoke and gases.

The Flues are where the exhaust air escapes through multiple heat exchange flues running through the water jacket, transferring heat quickly and efficiently.

The Chimney exhaust has now been cooled to 350 degrees Fahrenheit by the time it exits the chimney.

What is the difference between a condensing and non-condensing boiler?

All boilers under certain conditions will condense.  The difference between a condensing and non-condensing boiler is that a condensing boiler is designed to operate and survive long term in a condensing environment.  A non-condensing boiler will not last as long, because condensate is corrosive.

The condition that causes a boiler to condense is reduced flue gas temperature.  The point at which condensing will occur, also called the dew point of the products of natural gas (or propane) combustion, is about 130F.  Above this temperature, the moisture entrained in flue products as water vapor will remain vaporized.  Below this temperature, the water vapor will change phase and condense out of the flue products as liquid.  When this phase change occurs, additional energy is released that is beyond the sensible heat of the flue products.  In a boiler, this phase change occurs on a heating surface and the released energy transfers through the heating surface into the boiler water on the other side.  By capturing this energy, which is lost out the exhaust stack on a conventional system, a condensing boiler gains efficiency, thus making it much more efficient.  

Naturally, the products of combustion cannot be reduced in temperature to 130F unless some of the heating surfaces in the boiler are also less than or equal to 130F.  The only way to accomplish this is to have an entering boiler water temperature of less than or equal to 130F.  Simply stated, if return water to the boiler is higher than 130F, condensing cannot occur; even if the boiler modulates and is at its lowest firing rate.  This is determined by the laws of physics.  The highest achievable efficiency that can occur without condensation forming inside the boiler is approximately 87%.

Descaling a Tankless Heat Exchanger

Descaling The Heat Exchanger

Procedure

1. Disconnect electrical supply from the water heater.

2. Shut off the water supply to the water heater using (installer

supplied) isolation valve.

3. Open hot water taps to drain and relieve pressure from the

plumbing system.

4. Drain water from the unit’s heat exchanger by disconnecting

inlet and outlet water connections.

5. Connect the line (A) from the outlet of the circulating pump

(installer supplied) to the inlet water fitting on the water

heater.

6. Using another line (B), connect to the water outlet fitting

on the water heater. Route the other end of this line into a

descaling reservoir.

7. Using a 3rd line (C) from the descaling reservoir, connect to the

inlet side of circulating pump. Verify there is a filter on the end

of the line in the descaling reservoir.

8. Make sure all connections are “hand tight.”

9. Fill tank with descaling solution so lines inside are submersed.

We recommend a straight white vinegar solution. If using a

commercial descalant, refer to manufacturer’s instructions on

dilution with water.

11. Operate the circulating pump.

12. Make sure there are no leaks and the solution is flowing

from the descaling reservoir through the heat exchanger and

returning to the reservoir.

13. Run solution through the heat exchanger until the solution

returning to the descaling reservoir comes out clear. (Changing

to a fresh solution may be necessary during this process)

14. Disconnect all lines and drain all solution from heat exchanger.

Properly discard solution.

Scale, lime and rust buildup decreases the efficiency of tankless water heaters and other appliances. Buildup can restrict flow and ultimately shut down a unit. Flow-Aide System Descaler quickly dissolves water scale, lime, rust, and other water formed deposits, restoring efficiency to most all appliances. Flow-Aide System Descaler is a non-acid, non-toxic concentrate which is certified to NSF/ANSI 60 for use as a cleaner in potable water systems.

Safely remove scale, lime and rust from Tankless Water Heaters, Hydronic Boilers, Tank Water Heaters and more with Flow-Aide System Descaler

Flow-Aide System Descaler Kit Contains:

• 1 - 3.5 Gallon Bucket
• 1 - 350 GPH Pump
• 2 - 5 Foot Rubber Hoses
• 1 - Quart Flow-Aide

To purchase the Flow-Aide System Descaler please visit http://www.houseneeeds.com/.

When you save energy, you're saving money and the environment!

An energy-efficient home will keep your family comfortable while saving you money. Whether you take simple steps or make larger investments to make your home more efficient, you'll see lower energy bills. Over time, those savings will typically pay for the cost of improvements and put money back in your pocket. Your home may also be more attractive to buyers when you sell.

The 113 million residences in America today collectively use an estimated 22% of the country's energy. Unfortunately, a lot of energy is wasted through leaky windows or ducts, old appliances, or inefficient heating and cooling systems. When we waste energy in our homes, we are throwing away money that could be used for other things. The typical U.S. family spends at least $2,000 a year on home utility bills.

You can save 10% - 50% each year by making smart energy choices.

Solar Heating Tax Credit up until December 31, 2016 Solar Water Heating Federal Tax Credit Solar Heating can save you up to 30% on your taxes in addition to year-round savings on your energy bill.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed a stimulus bill (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that made some significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits. At least half of the energy generated by the “qualifying property” must come from the sun. Homeowners may only claim spending on the solar water heating system property, not the entire water heating system of the household. Solar Heating Tax Credits are not limited to the $1,500.00 Tax Credit Cap. The credit is not available for expenses for swimming pools or hot tubs. The water must be used in the dwelling. The system must be certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). Improvements made up until December 31, 2016 can be claimed on your taxes (filed by April 15, 2017) — use IRS Tax Form 5695 (2009 version). For more information on the bill, check out the U.S. Department of Energy website. What is a tax credit? A Solar Water Heating Tax Credit is not received when you buy the product, like an instant rebate. A Tax Credit on Solar Water Heating System is claimed on your federal income tax form at the end of the year. The credit then increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount paid in. Tax credits vs. tax deductions. In general, a tax credit is more valuable than a similar tax deduction. A tax credit reduces the tax you pay, dollar-for-dollar. Tax deductions – such as those for home mortgages and charitable giving, for example – lower your taxable income. If you are in the 30 percent tax bracket, your income tax is reduced by 30 percent of the value of a tax deduction. But a tax credit reduces your federal income tax by 100 percent of the amount of the credit. For more information on Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency, click here.
