    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?

    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%.

    Saving Energy

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

    In 2005, the average household spent almost $1,900 on home energy bills.
    Since 2005 - energy prices have gone up by 77% to 150% - depending on your area and what type of energy you use. So the average house that used $1,900 in 2005 would use at least $3,363 in 2008 or more.

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

    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/.

    Biasi 3 Wood Cast Iron Boiler

    Wood boilers have come a long way from what they used to be!

    One of Houseneeds newest additions is the

    Biasi Wood Boiler 3 Pass Technology with Btu output of up to 120,000 - ASME certified and ETL approved

    The Biasi 3 WOOD is a new generation of wood boiler that challenges our oil dependency. It is efficient, easy to use, and produces low emissions.

    Unlike wood boilers from the past, the Biasi 3WOOD dispels the notion that wood boilers are labor intensive, inefficient and polluting. 3WOOD offers consistent high efficiency with a large heat exchange surface and secondary combustion chamber.
    he Biasi 3WOOD wood boilers water-cooled grates, large finned firebox and secondary combustion chamber maximize the burn time and minimize wood consumption. Easy adjustments to the automatic temperature control, secondary air regulator, and flue gas damper enhance fire maintenance.For over 70 years, the BIASI foundry has maintained a reputation for precision pressure castings and quality control that exceeds all international standards. The 3WOOD series is available in four sizes ranging from 89,000 to 120,000 BTU/HR. All threads and fittings are compatible with North American controls and accessories. 3WOOD, the only ASME certified and ETL approved cast iron wood boiler on the market, embodies the design innovation of QHT BIASI.




    1st Pass

    Wood burns in a large,finned combustion chamber with water-cooled grates.

    2nd Pass

    Vented firebox gasses mix with very hot, preheated air in the secondary combustion chamber thereby enhancing oxidation.

    3rd Pass

    Remaining exhaust heat is given-up in a wide finned, self-cleaning passageway before exiting the boiler.

    HeatLink Plumbing PEX Tubing
     
    You can plumb your entire house with Heat-Link Plumbing PEX. The HeatLink Potable Water System features PureLink PEX-a tubing, the EasyFit manifold system. The unique HeatLink PEX-a process is based on a method developed during the 1970’s and uses organic peroxide to chemically cross-link the polyethylene during the manufacturing process. The PEX-a process produces a higher degree and greater uniformity in crosslinking, resulting product with significantly improved material properties with respect to temperature, pressure, strength and chemical resistance. Press sleeve technology has been used for decades worldwide in plumbing systems, and has also been used extensively for pneumatic and hydraulic applications.

    HeatLink’s superior potable water system carries all necessary approvals for North American installations, and offers significant advantages and benefits in comparison to both copper and most common PEX plumbing systems in use today.
     
     
    Heatlink EasyFit Plumbing PEX Manifolds - Example
    Heatlink Easyfit Pex Manifolds come in 2 and 3 Port Tees and are sold with 1/2" PEX adapters. So just order the actual amount of ports you need and you should be good to go. There are several different End Connection you need to choose from as well as 3/4" Tee to allow you to send hot or cold water to a separte plumbing manifold in a different location. If you want to use this manifold with 3/8 Inch PEX tubing - buy our Coupler 1/2 by 3/8 inch for each branch you want to use with 3/8 Inch PEX.


    Use silicone lubricant to lubricate dry o-rings to ensure a tight seal.
    In case a leak develops during testing, remove pressure from system, clean the o-ring, and reapply silicon lube.
    When placing the manifold into the supporting bracket, place the bottom snap-in lock in the bottom (braced) notch in bracket and then rotate it so that the top snaps into place.
    In order to prevent stress on the manifold supply end connections, the supply piping must be braced or supported, parallel to the manifold and centred with the manifold’s inlets.  Please visit us at  Houseneeds.com to purchase products.

    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.

    Perfect Summer Project

    Only you can control the sources of pollutants in your home, but Fantech HEPA Filtration can help provide ventilation and filtration. Tighter houses prevent outside air from getting in, but they also prevent indoor air pollutants and allergens from carpet, pets, mold, plants, cooking and tobacco smoke from getting out. Your family could be breathing air that is five times more polluted than the air outside.

     Fantech’s Whole House HEPA installs on your home’s forced air furnace/air handler or can be used as an independent system mounted in the attic, crawl space or closet. The unit is small, compact and very affordable. A powerful 240 CFM fan directs air through a series of three filters then delivers clean, safe, healthy air back into your entire home. Don't let invisible indoor air pollutants affect your home and the health of your family.

    Why Choose A Whole House HEPA Over A Portable Filtration Unit? Portable HEPA units are designed to clean only the air in a single room or small area of the home. The Fantech Whole House HEPA will clean the total volume of air in an average house once each hour. Ideal for homes up to 3600 sq. ft.

                                  Biasi RivaPlus Condensing Gas Boilers

    Heat Only or With Domestic Water - Propane and Natural High Efficency Gas Boilers


  • 90% AFUE Condensing Gas Boiler  
  • Output Modulates 41,600 BTU to 103,000 BTU
  • Quiet and compact

  • The RIVA Plus Boiler offers a unique condensing technology that increases the efficiency of the RIVA Compact and Combi Boilers to 90% AFUE. With the inclusion of a recuperator, the RIVA Plus can extract the remaining heat from the boiler's exhaust gas and transfer that heat into the return water destined for the boiler's primary heat exchanger. The recuperator guarantees higher efficiency and set-up simplicity. RIVA Plus is the only condensing wall-mounted boiler to offer this technology.


     The RIVA Plus Combi version is equipped with a flat      plate heat exchanger which heats your domestic water whenever you open the hot water taps. The high efficiency design eliminates all the standby losses associated with storage tank water heaters.

    Both RIVA Plus Combi and Compact Boilers maintain a constant high efficiency in both high and low temperature heating systems. Utilizing Biasi's Concept panel radiators, which heat at low water temperatures, will further increase efficiency by decreasing the average temperature of your heating system. For homeowners, Biasi RIVA boilers are not only quiet, dependable and efficient, they are more attractive and require less space than conventional boilers. And there is comfort in knowing that the sealed combustion heat exchanger provides the ultimate in safety while providing efficient central heating boiler and economical hot water supply with the Riba Plus Combi Model.
