If you are a commercial property owner in Canada, it is important to understand the efficiency ratings of your commercial boilers, as well as their impact on your business. In this blog, Dupont Heating & Air Conditioning Ltd will be looking at the different efficiency ratings that are commonly used to help you invest in high-efficiency boilers for your business.
What Are Commercial Boilers Used For?
Commercial boilers produce hot water or steam for various applications, including space heating and industrial tasks. Being bigger than residential boilers, they are more powerful and can effectively meet the heating needs of commercial properties.
Efficiency Ratings for Commercial Boilers in Canada
In order to make an informed decision when investing in commercial boilers for your business, it is important to first properly understand the main efficiency ratings for commercial boilers in Canada:
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) – This refers to the percentage of energy that gets converted into useful heat output. A boiler that has a higher AFUE rating is therefore considered to be more efficient and cost-effective.
Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) – This is a government-mandated minimum efficiency rating that all newly purchased commercial boilers must adhere to.
Energy Star – This rating reflects necessary energy efficiency guidelines. Therefore, Energy Star certified commercial boilers are not only cost-effective but are also highly energy efficient.
The Impact of Efficiency Ratings on a Business
Choosing to invest in high-efficiency commercial boilers can have several benefits for your business:
Efficient boilers consume less energy.
Efficient commercial boilers also produce a smaller carbon footprint.
Since efficient boilers operate at lower temperatures, they tend to have longer lifespans.
Efficient boilers are more reliable and help provide uninterrupted heat.
These boilers are versatile and compatible with other heating systems.
The Financial Benefits of Efficient Commercial Boilers
Here are some financial benefits of efficient commercial boilers:
Since efficient commercial boilers tend to have longer lifespans, it reduces the need and frequency of investing in new heating equipment for your business.
The lower energy consumption of these boilers also helps reduce the energy bills of your business.
Since these boilers can be integrated with other heating systems, they reduce the need to invest in additional equipment.
