Calculate Your Energy Savings

For decades, the Oilheat industry has rated a boiler or furnace's efficiency in terms of AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). However, when it comes to measuring energy savings, AFUE falls short. To compensate for this shortcoming, the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA), in partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory, has developed the FSA (Fuel Savings Analysis) Calculator. This application is available for download, completely FREE, from the NORA website.

The FSA Calculator will allow you to input variables that define a users current heating system, and compare it to possible upgrade systems. It will allow you to define systems consisting of any combination of boilers, furnaces and hot water solutions. Based on the input data entered, the Calculator will return the total efficiency, fuel usage, and cost involved with that system. Once a current system and possible upgrade systems have been set, the Calculator will present annual savings data relative to the current system, along with potential savings over the course of 10, 15, and 20 years.
