Users who must purchase boilers immediately are looking mor models with maximum fuel flexibility. Some are increasing the demand for gas-fired boilers, although manufacturers look on this as a short-term situation. The market has increased for retrofitting new burners on oil-fired boilers to burn other fuels or to increase efficiency.
