Today, residential gas boilers offer homeowners greater efficiency and lower fuel and operating costs. In fact, upgrading from an older boiler to U.S. Boiler’s best gas-fired cast iron water boiler, the ES2, which achieves an 85% AFUE, or one of our highly efficient condensing gas boilers, can result in considerable savings.
