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."

"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.
