Marran added , “ One of my favorite quotes that sums up what our products can do is from techs that tell me when homeowners with an Energy Kinetics boiler answer their door , they often exclaim , ‘ I love this boiler !’
“ Our plan is to continue to build innovative products that solve industry challenges ,” Marran said . That includes boilers such as the Ascent Combi , designed to compete on price and performance , venting in plastic polypropylene pipe without condensing , so that an old chimney is no longer a reason to convert fuels , Marran said . “ Our soon-to-be-released Integrity Combi condensing wall-hung propane and natural gas boiler uses nearly all industry standard parts , so consumers are never left waiting for scarce parts in the dead of winter ,” Marran said .
“ All of our oil boilers are now UL-listed for B100 , providing a pathway for the industry to decarbonize faster than any other heating source in cold climates . As our world advances to a more sustainable and low-carbon future , Energy Kinetics will continue to deliver products that help the industry , consumers , and business owners have a warm and affordable future in cold climates .”
Energy Kinetics is a manufacturer of high-efficiency combined heat and hot water systems for residential and light commercial applications . The company was founded in 1979 and manufactures all boilers in Lebanon , NJ using specially formulated steel and stainless steel sourced from local mills .
