Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my favorite fictional characters. I envied how he would notice each detail and use every one of his senses to solve the crime.

The XVers L, the newest hydronic boiler from Raypak, a Rheem company, is built to automatically assess the temperature and adjust to make sure the environment is controlled and comfortable. 

Alfred Fico, owner of All Clear Plumbing and Drains in Succasunna, New Jersey, recognizes the importance of having a condensate pump for a combination (combi) condensing boiler.

“Boilers are in my blood,” explained 44-year-old Shane Hall, a third-generation Weil-McLain representative.

That’s the sentiment of manufacturers that took part in this annual pme look at the latest boiler trends.

Irvine, California-based Navien recently announced based on 2018 summary reports (via BRG Enterprise Solutions), its condensing wall-hung solo boilers are a leader in that category.

Pennant boilers and volume water heaters received a substantial upgrade with the Laars Linc intuitive control system with color touchscreen.
