5/1/2006 - Dunkirk Releases Most Efficient Boiler
Dunkirk Boilers is pleased to announce the release of the new Quantum 95M-200 boiler. The revolutionary new Q95M is remarkably 95% efficient and is fully modulating from 80 – 200 MBH. The 95 % AFUE rating make the Quantum boiler the only boiler on the market eligible for the Federal Tax Credit of $150. The Quantum 95M-200 features a one piece cast aluminum heat exchanger. The one piece casting eliminates section interface leaks and includes wide waterways resulting in little pressure drop. This also eliminates the need for expensive and bulky high head circulators or special near boiler piping, which will save the contractor valuable installation time. Because the high head circulators are not necessary, homeowners can anticipate saving on their electric bill as well as their gas bill. The sealed combustion design allows the boiler to be vented with inexpensive PVC pipe. A simple control scheme means the boiler can be easily maintained. The Quantum 95M-200 will reduce your customers’ fuel consumption, save them money, and ultimately pay for itself in a few short years.
