We wish you and your teams a safe and reflective Memorial Day weekend—and we remain committed to supporting the buildings, institutions, and industries that keep our communities strong.
Heating, Cooling, and Powering Smarter:
Why MicroCHPs Are a Game-Changer for Buildings
Let’s be honest—most commercial buildings are under pressure to do more with less. Less energy waste. Less downtime. Less environmental impact. That’s where Micro Combined Heat and Power (MicroCHP) systems come in—and why Boilersource is excited to help you explore for your customers what’s possible.
Think of a MicroCHP as the Swiss Army knife of energy solutions. It generates electricity and usable heat from a single fuel source, like natural gas. Rather than letting heat go to waste like traditional generators do, MicroCHPs capture that thermal energy and use it to heat your building or water. That’s double-duty energy savings.
How Boilersource Helps:
We don’t just sell equipment—we provide end-to-end guidance. We help you:
-
Evaluate if a MicroCHP fits your facility's energy profile
-
Size the system properly based on your building’s needs
-
Work with utility providers to explore incentives
-
Provide any guidance or support you may need during installation and startup
-
Provide any assistance with parts to maximum uptime
Who Can Benefit:
-
Multi-unit residential buildings
-
Healthcare and hospitality facilities
-
Schools and universities
-
Industrial sites with consistent heating needs
Looking to reduce utility bills, cut emissions, and build resiliency into your building infrastructure? MicroCHPs could be the smartest move you make this year—and Boilersource is here to help make it easy.

Compact, vertical footprint—perfect for retrofit projects
-
Stainless steel heat exchanger for long life

Can You Solve It?
Sometimes you don’t want me in the flue,
But I’m made when heat flows through.
Too much of me and things go wrong—
Corrosion sings its sulky song.
