Boiler efficiency is measured by the amount of fuel that’s converted to energy to heat your home or water. You will see this referred to as annual fuel utilization efficiency or AFUE. It’s a ratio of how much heat a boiler emits versus how much fossil fuel is consumed. A boiler system with a 95% AFUE efficiency rating indicates that 95% of the fuel consumed is converted to heat. If you would like more detailed information regarding AFUE, visit Energy.gov.
A high efficiency boiler is a condensing boiler that provides more heat with less energy use than other systems. The combustion process in these units condense flue gases in a second heat exchanger for extra energy efficiency. The stainless steel heat exchanger used in Laars high efficiency boilers adds to the overall life of these units. All of this makes a high efficiency boiler a great choice for your home and saving on heating bills!
