Boilers-Burners
Emissions standards have been lowered significantly in the last five years on new natural
gas boiler installations. As over 40% of industrial natural gas is consumed in
boilers, the impact of emissions standards and the need to improve boiler efficiency has a great impact on the industrial natural gas market. |

 Residential
While residential customers have a great affinity for natural gas use for heating, cooking, clothes dryers and domestic hot water, they remain unfamiliar with many of the newer gas product applications. Typically 85% of homes using natural gas only have a couple gas appliances totaling 2-4 burner tips. Yet, there are more than 17 different pieces of equipment that could be used in a variety of ways. |
