"The installation of the high efficiency Weil-McLain Ultra boilers
reduced the gas consumption of this facility by 40%. With the cost
increase of gas this year, it translates into a savings of $42,104.00 the first year."

Contractor Name:
Bernie Salamie, Capital Climate Services, Hyatesville, MD
Job Location:
St. Luke Institute, a private residential facility for clergy
Job Description:
Removal of two 50 year-old triple pass fire tube
gas/oil boilers and replace with 8 Ultra Gas Boilers
Facility Square Footage & Load Requirement:
Building covers over an acre, 3 million BTU
Special Circumstances:
The facility was on an interruptible gas/oil
plan with their local utility. To keep the plan savings,
the new system was designed to satisfy 85% of the load
with the Ultra boilers and 15% with an existing oil boiler.
Why Weil-McLain Equipment:
The Ultra Gas solves all the problems I've had
with other low mass boilers. It's small, lightweight, and it
eliminates the noise and shaking from "steam engining."
Lessons Learned:
My sales rep. advised me to do primary-secondary piping,
but I started in a different direction. After review,
primary-secondary piping was the way to go, and it works great.
