What is micro CHP and why it matters

Micro combined heat and power (mCHP) systems in the 5 – 100 kW range are ideal for multifamily building owners seeking efficient, resilient and cost-effective solutions. Unlike industrial combined heat and power systems, micro CHP systems are smaller than a boiler and can be easily integrated into a building’s existing infrastructure.

mCHP systems generate both electricity and useful heat from as single fuel source – like natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen. Generating both electricity and useful heat onsite in a single system can help reduce energy costs and emissions by 40% or more.

This approach makes mCHP an excellent fit for facilities with simultaneous demands for power and heat — including space heating, hot water, cooling and lighting.

Proven benefits of CHP solutions

🔌Produce heat & power simultaneously

Reliable energy for your entire operation — from lighting to HVAC and beyond.

🌿Reduce emissions

Onsite energy generation using natural gas helps shrink your facility’s carbon footprint.

⚡Enhance resiliency

Onsite power generation keeps your buildings up and running during power outages – critical for facilities that can’t afford downtime.

💰Generate immediate savings

Lower utility bills starting on day one, with rebates and incentives available to help offset costs. Excess electricity generated could also be sold to the electric grid.

Ideal applications for 5 – 100 kW micro CHP systems

• Multifamily residential properties: Keep tenants safe and comfortable with consistent power and hot water.
• Commercial buildings: Boost operational efficiency in hotels, office parks, and retail centers.
• Healthcare facilities: Ensure uptime for critical equipment and heating.
• Small industrial plants: Meet energy needs for production lines and facility operations.
• Educational Institutions: Support campus operations with dual-output systems.

Give your old boiler new life: Boost efficiency with turbulators

Have an older firetube boiler but not ready to replace it? There’s a smart and cost-effective upgrade you can make right now to improve your boiler’s efficiency — turbulators.

What are turbulators?

Turbulators are specially designed inserts that fit directly into your boiler’s existing firetubes. By disrupting the airflow of flue gases, they increase heat transfer from those gases to the water surrounding the tubes. This simple retrofit leads to higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption, without the cost of replacing your entire boiler system.

Why it matters

An aging boiler doesn’t have to mean wasted energy. Turbulators offer a way to squeeze more performance out of your current system — extending its useful life while helping you save on gas bills.

Plus, with utility incentives available, your upgrade could cost much less than you think.

💸Cash incentives available

Through the Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas Energy Efficiency Programs, you may be eligible for custom incentives up to $1.50 per therm saved annually when you install turbulators on an existing boiler.

That’s money in your pocket — now and long-term.
