Recent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efficiency declarations were overturned, once again allowing the production and sale of Burnham Commercial boiler models with inputs of 300 MBH and above, specifically the V9A, V11H and MPC models.
Earlier in the year, a DOE ruling temporarily affected some Burnham Commercial boiler models, though they are now reversed. While the Burnham Commercial Series 8HE product line was updated during the past year, they now have the 805HE through 810HE (239-505 MBH) sizes available for sale.

U.S. Boiler Company introduces the Ambient Electric Boiler for residential customers looking to modernize and electrify their hydronic heating systems.
The single-phase Ambient Electric Boiler is an ultra-compact, wall-hung boiler designed and supported by industry-leading hydronic experts. The boiler is available in three capacities: 16, 20 and 24 kW, or 54,600, 68,200, and 82,000 BTUh, respectively. Supply water temperatures between 90°F and 180°F can be provided, using field-proven electric elements.
Built for long-term consumer reliability, the boiler’s ASME Section IV stamped heat exchanger is assembled and welded in the US. The cabinet is constructed of robust coated galvanized steel, and the system automatically cycles element usage.
The boiler features a proven control that provides dual setpoint operation, load management control, operation monitoring, with fault and dry-fire protection.
The new electric boiler can be installed quickly and inexpensively because venting, fuel supply and provision of combustion air are not required. The unit weighs 54 pounds, and connections to the heat exchanger are on top, meaning that the system does not need to be drained in order to service the element.
To further simplify installation, an integral anti-short cycle-timer and two 60 AMP circuit breakers are included. A flow switch, ASME 30 PSI pressure relief valve, pump switching relay and secondary manual reset hi-limit are also included. The electric boiler is compatible with copper and aluminum wire (aluminum prohibited in Canada). The new boiler is CSA C22.2 listed/UL 834 listed and features enhanced, individual element relays.
The Ambient Electric Boiler comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty and a 20-year heat exchanger warranty. Regional electrification incentives may apply.

Taco Comfort Solutions® has expanded its family of easy-to-use, ECM high-efficiency circulators with the addition of the 0034e® and 0034ePlus® models. With a maximum of 34 feet of head and 50 GPM, the new circulators offer up to 85 percent energy savings over a conventional circulator.
The 0034e and 0034ePlus circulators are available with cast iron or NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified stainless steel volutes, so they are ideal for closed-loop hydronic heating systems as well as domestic hot water recirculation systems. Both circulators also offer a convenient, rotatable control box cover for a professional look, no matter the orientation of the installed circulator.
The 0034e features an easy-to-use dial with five operating modes, including constant pressure, fixed speed, Taco’s exclusive TacoADAPTTM self-adjusting proportional pressure, and 0-10V capability. The 0034ePlus adds proportional pressure and more constant pressure settings as well as a digital display with real-time feedback, including watts, GPM, feet of head, and RPM. Both circulators are dual-voltage 115V/230V.
The new circulators come with exclusive features that make Taco’s ECM high-efficiency circulators so easy to use, including SureStart® automatic unblocking and air purging, BIO Barrier® black iron oxide protection, dual electrical knockouts, and recessed flange nut-grabbers.

Maintaining the health of water-based fluids circulating within high and low temperature hydronic systems is paramount to protecting components while maximizing efficiency. Make a smart choice by selecting The Gold Standard Kit™ for clean hydronic systems to ensure maximum protection and efficiency. Kitted for savings, the Gold Standard includes two product favorites that effectively eliminate three problems:
The Caleffi DISCAL® high efficiency air separator is dedicated to removing the system culprit:
- Excessive oxygen resulting in the formation of corrosion. The DIRTMAG® PRO dirt separator with magnetic technology and particle mesh captures troublesome
- Magnetic debris
- Non-magnetic debris
DISCAL maintains dissolved oxygen concentration below levels that can cause
magnetic materials to corrode. The specially engineered coalescing mesh forces microbubble gasses to be collected and automatically vented from the system. Separating dissolved oxygen minimizes oxidation, thus protecting the system from corrosion and sediment formation (a.k.a. “boiler sludge”).
DIRTMAG PRO captures magnetic and non-magnetic debris, the bane of heat
exchangers, circulators and valves. Debris that isn’t the result of oxidation, known as non-ferrous debris, must also be removed. Common examples include copper shavings, pipe tape and solder. Purging the captured magnetic and non-magnetic debris is quick, clean and does not require system shutdown with DIRTMAG PRO.
Rest assured. The Gold Standard Kit removes excessive oxygen and rids the system of both magnetic and non-magnetic debris. Separation with NO Compromise.

Leading U.S.-based manufacturer’s new light commercial boilers offer versatility, high performance and efficiency for a wide range of applications
Laars® Heating Systems, a leading U.S. designer and manufacturer of boilers, water heaters, and pool heaters used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, announces the release of the new FT Series light commercial boilers available in 301 and 399 MBH sizes.
Laars® Heating Systems, a leading U.S. designer and manufacturer of boilers, water heaters, and pool heaters used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, announces the release of the new FT Series light commercial boilers available in 301 and 399 MBH sizes.
These robust boilers have a stainless steel firetube heat exchanger, operate with up to 10:1 turndown, can be used with either natural gas or propane fuel, and run at an ultra-high 95%+ thermal efficiency.
“These versatile additions to the Laars® FT Series product line meet or exceed the high standards our customers have for heating equipment,” said Chuck O’Donnell, director of marketing for Laars® Heating Systems. “The FT Series 301 and 399 MBH units provide optimal performance and ultra-high efficiency while also responding to a wide range of operational demands. We’re always looking for ways to maximize value for our customers and end users by providing top-performing heating equipment that’s built to last.”
Each FT Series unit is equipped with onboard high- and low-temperature zone control, DHW Smart PriorityTM functionality that allows simultaneous space and domestic water heating, BMS compatibility, and can cascade up to four units. Additionally, a sensor actively monitors incoming air for cross-contamination from exhaust flue gases. This unique feature issues an alert when cross-contamination is present, indicating that the vent system should be evaluated to help keep the boiler running trouble-free.
The FT Series 301 and 399 MBH units can be wall-hung or floor-mounted with optional stand package. Top and bottom gas and water connections and venting up to 150 equivalent feet offer increased installation flexibility.
