What is the operating cost and gas consumption of a gas hot water boiler?

30 Jun 2023

The operating cost and gas consumption of a gas hot water boiler depend on several factors, including the size of the boiler, its efficiency rating, the cost of natural gas in your area, and how much hot water you use.

 

In general, gas hot water boilers are more efficient than electric hot water heaters, which can help reduce operating costs. According to the US Department of Energy, a gas hot water boiler with an efficiency rating of 90% or higher can save you about 30% on your energy bills compared to a boiler with an efficiency rating of 80%.

 

To estimate the operating cost and gas consumption of a gas hot water boiler, you'll need to know its input rating, which is the amount of gas the boiler can use in an hour. For example, a typical residential gas hot water boiler might have an input rating of 100,000 BTUs per hour.

 

To calculate the gas consumption, you'll need to know how many hours the boiler runs per day and multiply the input rating by the number of hours. For example, if your boiler runs for 4 hours per day, the gas consumption would be:

 

100,000 BTUs/hr x 4 hours/day = 400,000 BTUs/day

 

To estimate the operating cost, you'll need to know the cost of natural gas in your area. For example, if natural gas costs $1 per therm (a unit of heat energy), and the boiler uses 10 therms per day, the operating cost would be:

 

$1/therm x 10 therms/day = $10/day

 

Keep in mind that these are just estimates and actual costs will vary depending on your specific situation.
