Yet System 2000 weighs only 160 pounds and contains just 2 ½ gallons of water. Additionally, it’s 50% thicker than the tubes found in most other steel boilers providing a stronger and more serviceable design with longer life. Plus, its specially formulated steel is uniformly thicker than the 5/32” thickness now found in many cast iron boilers. System 2000 by Energy Kinetics was not only the first steel boiler to successfully compete with cast iron boilers, but it was the first one to surpass cast iron in its energy efficiency, saving consumers money. It’s simply a better material for hot water boilers and it’s this design that lasts longer and runs at higher efficiency than cast iron. It heats up rapidly, expands and contracts easily and is highly resistant to temperature shock. Steel is ductile, flexible and easily welded into complex shapes. Its densely compacted uniform structure is more corrosion resistant than cast iron. Why are commercial boilers made of steel? Because steel is typically 50% stronger than cast iron.

The Cast Iron Boiler Warranty: Did you know that cast iron boiler manufacturers rarely cover the whole assembly and they totally ignore the gaskets (the weakest link in the cast iron chain)? Check out Energy Kinetics’ industry leading steel boiler warranty.Īvoid the pitfalls of cast iron with the industry’s long lasting steel boiler.

Our steel boilers have fully accessible and wide open passes for a lifetime of high efficiency. This buildup causes cast iron boilers to start losing their efficiency on day one.

Efficiency Lost on Day One: Did you know that cast iron pin type boilers are extremely difficult to clean? In fact, even the most skilled boiler technician finds it impossible to get a cleaning brush around and behind all the pins and hidden passages.

Energy Kinetics’ steel design, on the other hand, heats up more quickly, uses less energy and puts more heat into your home. Did you know that every time heat or hot water is required, 450 pounds of cast iron and up to 15 gallons of water must be heated before the boiler can start heating the home? That is a lot of energy.

Cast iron is an inefficient material for heat transfer.During design proof tests, System 2000 (a steel boiler) exceeded 700psi and the Energy Kinetics’ design test team gave up before ever finding the breaking point! If you need any further evidence of cast iron’s inferiority, simply check the ASME codes. ASME doesn’t allow cast iron boilers to be used on steam at pressures greater than 15psi or 250☏ water temperatures due to limitations in cast iron properties.Cast iron is significantly more vulnerable to deep pitting corrosion than steel, and corrosion can lead to shorter boiler life.Cast Iron Boilers’ Quality Decline: Did you know years ago cast iron boilers were made two to three times thicker than today’s models? In fact, inspection reveals some have sections as thin as 5/32″. Have you considered that today’s cast iron boilers may not be as durable as their past reputation would have you believe?.

Energy Kinetics’ boilers have no sections, gaskets, or burner doors to crack or leak. Steel, on the other hand, is more corrosion resistant, expands and contracts easily, and is typically 50% stronger than cast iron.

It’s well known that it is common for today’s cast iron boilers to have cracked sections, cracked burner doors, leaking gaskets, and leaking tankless coil flange.

Cast iron is a brittle material which can fracture under temperature shock.

Cast iron is basically steel with a high level of carbon impurities… and carbon doesn’t translate into longer boiler life.
