Hot Water Makers - Boiler Mate

MTP Plumbing & Heating LLC repairs, services, and installs all types and brands of hot water makers and boiler mates. A hot water maker or a boiler mate is a hot water tank that produces hot water from a boiler. No water heater is needed when a water maker is installed. The way a water maker is heated is by a separate zone off of a boiler. The way this works is someone in the house uses hot water, the temperature drops in the water maker, then the thermostat on the water maker will activate. The circulator will start circulating water through the boiler and inside the water maker, there are pipes or fins that will circulate that 180 degree water from the boiler through the hot water maker while producing 120 degree potable water. Hot water makers produce double the efficiency of the hot water that a standard electric or gas water heater produces. The efficiency will depend on the type of boiler you have operating the water maker. The efficiency of the water maker has to do with a boiler's efficiency that can range from 80% to 85%. These systems can be very efficient if installed properly by an experienced contractor. A standard gas water heater is approximately 60% efficient and a hot water boiler is 80% to 95% efficient; as you can see a boiler is much more efficient and has a higher recovery and efficiency rate. As everyday technology improves combination units are a better pick because they have a better efficiency rate and are more practical. Please refer to the tankless boiler/ water heater combo units. These Navien units are the latest hot water heating.
