Ask a question - save a lot
19 September 2009
There's a simple setting hidden inside many of the grey boxes attached to your boiler; it's called the Low Limit. Your oil guy is totally familiar with it. We've seen many of these controls when we install the Fuel Economizer and often scratch our heads and wonder why some are set as high as they are. It would not hurt at all to ask him why your limit is set where it is. The upside is you may be able to set it lower and save a lot.
We would love to see these set where appropriate for you. Then with the Fuel Economizer installed you'll save yet another load. The Fuel Economizer will give you savings whether you are set efficiently or not since it simply adds brains to your system.
The only one who loses out in this scenario is the oil company... the people who sell you the oil AND set up and maintain your system. Hmm.
A little more info on what we're saying. Would you accept your car idling at 4000 RPM instead of the normal 1000 or lower? Probably not, yet your boiler may be doing just this, but you just don't know it.
