It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of State for certain new boilers were told they needed a separate hot water heater for summer use because the boiler's standby heat losses were too great. Richard Blaser, president of Atlas Welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. & Boiler Repair, Inc., says the State's Energy Investment Loan Program (EILP) is enforcing a new energy code that states the standby energy losses in a boiler have to be less than 2 percent. "You don't want to be wasting energy with this boiler on in the summer, he agrees. "When you submit an application for a tankless coil, you get a letter back saying you need a separate hot water heater," Blaser said. "People call me up and they are panicked." Atlas Welding & Boiler Repair has come up with a simple solution to ensure heat losses do not exceed the program's limits, thus saving the owners the cost of a new hot water heater.

"By filing additional paperwork and providing insulation we have been able to show the state the installations comply with the code," he explained. "Insulating the rear of the boiler is an inexpensive way to save energy," Blaser said, adding that in certain cases, it could be required by the state.
