Our hearts go out to the family who lost their 13-year-old son this past weekend in a hotel carbon monoxide leak tragedy. The Michigan hotel's indoor pool heater broke, leaving seven middle schoolers (11 total poisoned) unconscious on the pool deck. Hotel carbon monoxide leaks cause loss of life, evacuation, hotel closure and revenue loss. As your hotel or resort moves into high season, check your systems. Now.

There I was. At the ISH Show last week in Frankfurt. And there was another company's "NEW" chimney fan, which had a striking resemblance to our TDF chimney fan. That's because it was! Our design, sitting right there on their table! So here we have a side-by-side comparison of the two chimney fans for you to decide. Did they really make something "NEW"? Or did they Raab our design? Come along. Let's play.

Did you know that over a 20-year period, 96 percent of the cost of operating a boiler system comes from fuel costs, and 10 to 20 percent of energy input is lost in the form of heat escaping to the atmosphere? How much waste heat are you losing? And how much could your company save with an economizer and heat exchanger solution? Learn how economizers work, the benefits of economizers, and how the VHX economizer solution saved the NHA $35,000 annually, with no upfront cost and guaranteed payback.

Of the fan manufacturers that use permanent magnet motors in their fans, most are using Permanent Magnet AC (PMAC) motors. Surprising? ENERVEX uses a BLDC (brushless) permanent-magnet motor because it has clear advantages. If you are evaluating exhaust fans, here are 18 questions that will help you understand the benefits of BLDC motors vs. the AC induction motors being marketed widely - plus everything else you ever wanted to know about the different fan motor types.

What’s inside your UL508A "Certified" panel? When you purchase a "UL Listed" control panel, do you know what you're really getting? Here are two dark secrets that might surprise you.

Most chimneys on the market are leaking. A closer look at the testing standards for chimney joint sealants reveals that these standards DO NOT protect you. Even many listed chimneys leak not only condensation but also dangerous flue gases. For the contractor or specifying engineer, this is a costly reality. There’s something going on with Silicone, Viton and Ceramic Cement chimney joint/sealant materials -- and it must be addressed.

Thanks to all who attended our ENERVEX Open House. We had a great deal of fun, as well as engaged in conversations around the best mechanical draft systems for improving chimney draft control and boiler efficiency.

Check it out - that's me with my first car, a 1970 Morris Marina 1100! Today I'm sharing why buying a condensing boiler is a lot like buying your first car... and what you must know before investing in a high-efficiency condensing boiler, but you won't hear it from the boiler manufacturers.

ENERVEX is proud to have provided the boiler draft control and inline variable speed exhaust systems for Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. This innovative mechanical draft design was part of a winning strategy with Tweet/Garot to bring boiler efficiency, combustion air and energy savings to the field.
