As a homeowner, you know the sinking feeling of paying a heating bill that seems higher than it should be. If your boiler is more than 15 years old, it might be doing more than just heating your home, it could be burning through your budget.
At Tower Klebe Energy, our technicians have spent more than 20 years ensuring families in New Haven County and Central Connecticut stay warm and safe. We’ve seen firsthand how upgrading an outdated system can transform a home’s comfort and efficiency. An upgrade isn’t just a purchase; it’s an investment in your property value and your peace of mind.
Do you know when your current boiler was installed? If it’s been over 15 years, your system is likely running on borrowed time. More importantly, it’s likely operating at significantly reduced efficiency.
Older boilers often operate at less than 60% efficiency. To put that into perspective, for every dollar you spend on fuel, only 60 cents is actually heating your home. The remaining 40 cents is wasted energy, literally money going up the chimney.
In contrast, modern oil- and gas-fired boilers can reach efficiencies of 95% or higher. Improving your home heating efficiency by just 35% leads to immediate, noticeable cost savings on fuel usage. These newer systems also feature precise controls that adjust to milder weather, reducing temperature swings and further lowering energy consumption.
Beyond the savings, boilers offer a unique quality of heat that many homeowners prefer over forced-air systems. Because boilers circulate hot water or steam through sealed pathways like radiators or baseboards, the heat produced is less dry.
This moisture retention offers several distinct advantages for your living environment:
