Inspector Helps Church Save On Fuel Bills
A church changed its plans when replacing a boiler to heat its facilities, heeding the suggestion  of a Hartford Steam Boiler inspector whose advice helped the congregation cut its heating oil bills almost in half.
Church leaders intended to replace the heating boiler with a similar unit. During the planning process, the HSB inspector suggested that they reevaluate their facility and take another look at the heating system installation. It was discovered that efficiency could be improved by insulating bare hot water piping and zoning specific areas such as offices, worship area and meeting rooms. Instead of replacing the boiler with a similar unit, it was decided that multiple boilers would be more effective.
Although the cost for the project was more than initially projected, the new heating system had lower operating expenses. Following installation, fuel bills were reduced and all areas of the church received enough heat. The HSB inspector’s suggestion paid off for the congregation.
