Grundfos, U.S. Boiler Company Collaborate to Provide Ultra-Efficient Boiler-Pump Package
Grundfos ALPHA saves up to 85% more energy than conventional circulators,
helping U.S. Boiler Company boost product efficiency
NEW YORK — At the 2014 Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) in New York City,
Grundfos and U.S. Boiler Company will announce an agreement to pair Grundfos’ ultra-efficient ALPHATM
circulators as options on most U.S. Boiler gas cast-iron heating products. The combined product leverages
both companies’ individual competencies in the industry and provides a market-leading solution for highly
efficient heating in residential and light commercial applications.
“We know that the price of energy is a growing concern for many Americans. Grundfos’ collaboration with U.S.
Boiler Company will allow us to deliver the total package for saving energy – a best-in-class boiler paired with
an ultra-efficient pump,” said Barry Nauss, director of HVAC OEM Sales for Grundfos USA.
Made in the United States, the package will feature the ALPHA, a Grundfos pump designed for circulating
liquids in light commercial and residential heating systems. The ALPHA features patented AUTOADAPT TM
technology, which automatically analyzes the needs of the system and then adjusts operation to changes in
demand. By learning the patterns of consumption, the pump can save end users up to 85 percent in energy
costs when compared to a conventional circulator, ensuring the lowest possible consumption without
sacrificing comfort.
Dan Cork, vice president of Sales and Marketing for U.S. Boiler Company added, “We are pleased to offer this
combination of leading-edge products. The Grundfos ALPHA pump is an advanced solution that many of our
contractors have asked for, and it’s a great match with our industry-leading, technically advanced boilers. It’s
always about giving customers the opportunity to use products that offer the most value to the complete
system.”
Together with U.S. Boiler’s top-quality product, the competitively priced boiler-pump package will achieve
new levels of complete energy efficiency. In addition to guaranteeing energy savings for end users, the
combined product will also ease the installation process, making it a win-win for both parties.
“Grundfos is the global leader in pump solutions for boiler manufacturers,” Nauss said. “We are confident that
this new collaboration with the U.S. Boiler Company will strengthen our share of the American market and
help us achieve our long-term goal to reach $1 billion in annual sales.”
