Greenstar Gas-Fired Condensing Boilers-A Green Start to Space & Water Heating on Cape Cod

A Green Start to Space & Water Heating on Cape Cod brought to you by South Shore Heating & Cooling

---

Gas-Fired Condensing Boilers

98.5% efficiency (96.0% AFUE)

Reliable performance with low emissions

Ultra quiet operation

Compact, wall-hung design
Eligible for 2011 Federal Tax Credit

"Combi" (combination) unit with space heating and integrated water heating in one highly efficient, compact unit. With special insulation to ensure ultra quiet operation and the exclusive keypad safety lock feature to prevent unwanted tampering with heating controls, this unit is the ideal "green" upgrade for detached & terraced houses and is also suitable for apartments.

Energy-saving & environmental features

Aluminum-Silicon heat exchanger delivers high efficiency - 98.5% with low temperature applications (96.0% AFUE)
Low NOx emissions ahead of 2012 SCAQMD regulations
Simple, intelligent control options optimize efficiency and fuel consumption
Low electrical consumption when the boiler is in standby mode
Electronic ignition
Anti-cycle and modulation control

End user comfort & convenience features

Limited lifetime heat exchanger and 5-year parts & labor warranty
All models available as NG or LP

Special insulation ensures ultra-quiet operation
Compact dimensions and built-in frost protection offer flexibility for location of installation

ECO mode for energy saving fuel consumption
Exclusive safety feature - keypad safety lock prevents unwanted tampering with heating controls

Eligible for 2011 Federal Tax Credit

SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES:

Al-Si heat exchanger

Each unit features an ASME approved Al-Si heat exchanger constructed of advanced Magnesium-Aluminum-Silicon alloy - offering increased flexibility versus traditional stainless steel. They are equipped with highly durable heating blocks that are corrosion resistant and designed to optimize clean burning combustion over an extra large surface area, which requires minimal servicing and reliance on spare parts during the boiler’s lifetime.

Plated stainless steel heat exchanger

All Greenstar Combi boilers are equipped with a high-strength stainless steel secondary exchanger and burner with double passage - ensuring consistent temperature output based on demand. The DHW hot water temperature control limit of 140°F helps prevent scale build-up within the heat exchanger.

Full modulating fan assembly

A full modulating fan automatically increases or decreases its speed according to the amount of gas coming into the boiler depending on the heat demand. This process, called modulation, prevents the boiler from either having too little or too much air in the unit for optimal combustion - ensuring high efficiency.

Snow and Ice Removal Systems

This sure has been a snowy winter on Cape Cod. Most of us Cape Codders are exhausted from shoveling, snow-blowing and salting. There is an easier way: South Shore Heating and Cooling utilizes Uponor's superior snow-melting system. "In the Uponor snow-melting system warm water circulates through durable crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing embedded in concrete, turf, asphalt, or sandbed. The warmth from the water warms the surface to a temperature that melts snow and ice on contact.

The Uponor snow and ice melting system provides a simple, weather responsive, economic and fully automatic solution for snow melt. Uponor's hydronic systems circulate warm water through Uponor PEX tubing buried in the ground. This makes the worry and inconvenience of snow and ice removal a thing of winters past!

Safety and Cost Savings

Uponor Snow and Ice Melt systems help lower maintenance costs and reduce the liability associated with slippery walk-ways. damage to concrete and asphalt is reduced or eliminated. Damage to building entrance ways is also eliminated since no water, salt or ice melt chemicals are tracked in.

 Key Benefits

• Increases the life of snow melt areas by reducing freeze/thaw cycles
• Perfect for hard to plow areas (steep grades, brick pavers, pool decks, stairs)
• Maintains a snow & ice free surface for year round safety
• Automatic system is a watchdog through warm weather shutdown
• Offers design versatility in the home's overall heating plan
• Protects snowmelt slab from thermal shock

 Typical Snow & Ice Melt Applications

Commercial:  Store and office entrances, exterior truck docking bays, and walkways.
Hospital:  Emergency entrances, walkways, steps, wheelchair ramps, parking lots, and ambulance bays.
Municipal:  Streets, sidewalks, steps, parking garage entrance/exit ramps and upper decks, airport runways, parking lots, and wheelchair ramps.
Residential :  Driveways, sidewalks, steps, pool decks and wheelchair ramps"
