On their best days, the old systems were operating at a 60% efficiency.
Fuel costs for a new, high-efficiency model can be up to 40% lower than for an older conventional one.
New systems are more efficientand reduce energy costsIf you have an older furnace/boiler, you may be spending more on fuel than you need to. Compare the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of your old system to a new 80% one to see the below potential saving:
50% AFUE 55% AFUE 60% AFUE 65% AFUE$0
$10$20$30$40$50$60$70$80$90

$37$31
$25$19
$ 100 spent on energy Savings
NJ Incentives are also available for replacement of old equipment

Dirty systems are less efficientIf you have oil, poor combustion can deposit soot on the heat exchanger which reduces fuel efficiency and heat transfer
Have a combustion efficiency test performed
Have your boiler or furnace tested using a digital combustion analyzers. They are faster, more accurate than old analog analyzers.
A combustion analysis◦Verifies the safety of the appliance◦Calculates the combustion efficiency◦ Increases energy efficiency◦Lowers environmental pollutants◦Saves You Money
Change your air filters monthly
Improper air flow negatively impacts your furnace efficiency causing the unit to run longer to heat your home.
Add an outdoor reset control to your boilerImproves performance of a
hot water heating systems by regulating the supply water temperature based on the outdoor temperature.
The control utilizes a heating curve to set the relationship between outdoor temperature and supply water temperature to provide optimum control and comfort.
Program your programmable thermostat
Effective, economical and easy
Saves energy and money without sacrificing comfort
Sets temps for occupancy and activity Saves as much as 33% of the heating
energy and from 10-25% of the cooling energy by better temperature controls.
