    Interesting -- thanks for posting that.
    Compliance with the amended standards established for residential boilers in this final rule is required on and after [INSERT DATE 5 YEARS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]
    seems to indicate that it has yet to be published?

    have you ever seen so much "BS" in one spot and we are paying them to shovel it. People wonder why the economy is shrinking !

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Standing pilots are forbidden? They consume miniscule energy, particularly if they are turned of in the summer, and are easier to maintain and troubleshoot than electronic versions.

    I think (hope) my old boiler will go well beyond that 2021 date. It's only a little over 60 years old :)

    You think the DOE residential boiler regulations is the reason the economy is shrinking?

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.
