IBC Technologies is an award winner for the innovative design of its wall-mounted condensing boilers. What sets these boilers apart from the others?

From its 439 or 316 Ti, high grade stainless steel heat exchanger/pressure vessel to its FeCrAlloy™ mesh burner, IBC has researched and sourced the best materials available to ensure that each boiler will operate as efficiently as possible while providing durability over the long term.

IBC has searched the world to find the best components made. Gas valves, combustion fans, controls – all of the components necessary to create a chain that will convert a fuel gas into reliable, efficient and comfortable heat for your home. Our philosophy is that there will be “no weak links” in the chain, and we continue to try and improve the quality of everything we use in our products.

The first link in the chain is to convert your fuel into heat in the most efficient way possible. Using precise fuel-air mixing and advanced burners and combustion control, we squeeze every penny out of your energy dollar.

Link two – convert that heat into hot water (and not send it up the chimney as many conventional boilers do) – a key to the success of our boiler. IBC boilers scrub as much heat as possible from the combustion process – we get it all.

Link three – don’t use more fuel than you have to. We can precisely match our burn rate to the heat required by your system – saves fuel, saves wear and tear.

Link four – Our boiler runs cool when it can and only ramps up to higher temperatures when specific loads require it (usually a small percentage of the heating season). Our creative control methods ensure that heat is distributed only to those loads that need it at the time – more energy savings.

But there’s more! Advanced diagnostic features, intuitive and easy control set-up as well as unique system operation logging help you set up the boiler for optimum efficiency, and then maintain it, in whatever system it is connected to. Ease of installation helps ensure that your heating system operates properly from day one.
Our generous venting allowances, compact size and simple piping options make for good-looking, install anywhere options that will add to your pride of ownership in one of the most energy-smart heating systems available today.

If your boiler isn’t running as well as it used to, it may be time to replace it. Although a new boiler can be an expensive investment up front, it will save you money on your utility bill down the road, and make your home more comfortable. Here are some factors to consider:

Energy efficiency: If you have an older boiler, it may be running at 65% efficiency or less, which means that only 65% of the heat it produces is being transferred to the water that heats your home – that’s a significant amount of money to lose up the chimney! With a new boiler operating at 80% to 98.5% efficiency, you’ll see immediate savings on your energy bill.

Modulation: most new, high-efficiency boilers can match their heat output to your home’s needs by running at a consistent, low level. Older boilers only run at full capacity, so even if it’s a mild BC day, or you’re only heating one area of your home, the system will constantly turn off and on to provide surges of heat. With a new boiler, you get constant, even heat throughout your home, quieter operation, and energy savings.

Steel vs. corrosion-resistant heat exchangers: If your old boiler has a steel heat exchanger, it will eventually be rusted away by the water in the system. New, stainless steel heat exchangers last much longer.

Once you’ve chosen a new boiler, we can help you decide on any additional features, such as an indirect water heater that provides abundant hot water at a low operating cost, or outdoor reset controls that help you save energy and money.
