Boiler Modulation & Turndown Ratio (1:3 vs 1:10)

Anti-Cycling Firing Physics

The maximum kW rating of your boiler only matters on the 3 or 4 coldest days of winter. For the remaining 95% of the heating season, your home requires just 2 kW to 6 kW of continuous heat. A high modulation turndown ratio (1:7 to 1:10) allows the burner to throttle down to a tiny flame without shutting off, preventing short-cycling and saving money.
