How to store energy in a wall-mounted boiler

Can a gas condensing boiler be used as an energy saving boiler?

Changing from an old and inefficient boiler to an energy saving gas condensing boiler is very quick, whether you are opting for a wall mounted and extremely compact gas boiler or a floorstanding unit with integrated solar cylinder.

What is a wall-mount boiler?

Wall-mount boilers, like the floor mount versions, can be used for radiant heating, snow melt, indirect domestic hot water or a combination of all of these system types Thurlkill says. “Most all wall-mount boilers shipping today include controls to allow a combination of heating systems to operate from the one appliance with relative ease.”

Why should you choose a wall-mounted boiler?

There are several reasons to select a wall-mounted boiler over its traditional units: they don’t use up as much space and they’re lighter, making them better suited to install and handle. They’re also much more efficient. According to the U.S. Department of Energy they typically increase efficiency by about 24-34 percent.

Can you use a wall-mounted boiler with radiant heating?

Almost exclusively high-efficiency boilers, wall-hung boilers are ideal for use with in-floor radiant heating systems, which typically have colder water returning to the boiler, O’Donnell says. What are the most common mistakes contractors make when installing wall-mount boilers?

Can a wall-mounted boiler be used for domestic hot water?

Yes, wall-mounted boilers can be used for producing domestic hot water. Virtually all boilers, wall-mount or floor, may be used in all types of situations including hydronic, radiant and domestic water heating, Fenske says. 'With condensing boilers typically offering the best potential efficiencies, wall-hung boilers have two main application choices for producing domestic hot water.

What are the benefits of a wall-mount boiler?

Wall-mount boilers have an obvious benefit: they are off the ground and potentially at less risk of damage due to flooding issues\. Mike Boyd, product manager with Weil-McLain, explains this advantage.
