Why are these high temps$
The fellow who set the boiler at service time, did not want a “low heat call” on the coldest day of the year.
Folks did not have a way of regulating boiler temperatures.
Who cares what you spend, or how much you waste to the atmosphere????
Folks never complain if they are too warm.

Hey Folks
At Exquisite Heat we believe your heating system should be comfortable first.
We believe you deserve good comfort at least energy expense.

Hey Folks !!!!!
Can you see the problem here?
ANYONE ??
We are talking about 90% of buildings in the world.

For every 2 degrees we reduce boiler
temperatures = 1 % savings on your gas or
oil bill. $$$

Desired Solutions Even out the comfort in all rooms Shut the windows in overheated rooms Keep complaints down Higher humidity levels, less dry skin Set the Thermostat lower for all rooms Reduced running of the boiler, saves fuel Get the heat out of the basement, and into the
rooms…
Let’s lower those fuel bills $$$
