Average Lifespan of a Fulton Electric Steam Boiler

Fulton Electric Steam Boiler

Fulton electric steam boilers are designed to last longer than gas and oil systems, but how long they last depends on how well they are maintained and what type of maintenance routines are followed. The average lifespan of a Fulton electric steam boiler is 20-30 years depending on the amount of time and care they are given throughout their life.

The primary function of a Fulton Electric Steam Boiler is to convert electricity into heat through a heating element, which in turn creates steam from cold water. This steam travels through copper pipes to radiators or other heating devices throughout your building. The steam heats the building and helps to maintain indoor comfort and humidity levels.

Electric hot water boilers use the same principles as gas and oil models, but instead of using fossil fuel to heat the system, they are powered by electricity from the power grid. Because they do not burn fossil fuel, they produce far less greenhouse gasses and are a more environmentally friendly option. Electric steam boilers are also typically cheaper to run than gas or oil models since they require less fuel and operate at lower costs over the course of their lifetime.

Our electric steam boilers are easy to operate and provide minimal maintenance, allowing your staff to focus on other tasks while providing a continuous supply of quality steam.

All of our electric steam boilers and thermal fluid heaters are backed by our global representative network with local service support. Our representatives can work closely with you to find a solution for your heat transfer application. We’ve spearheaded low NOx burner development for decades, and we incorporate these advancements into all of our core products. Our VSRT steam boiler and ENDURA+ hydronic boiler are both designed with low NOx burner technology to help meet your zero on-site emissions goals.

Fulton’s rugged designs and long-lasting materials reduce overall life cycle resource use and minimize maintenance requirements. For example, our VSRT steam boilers utilize construction parameters that exceed ASME code minimums and are backed by an unparalleled warranty.

The VSRT-E hybrid steam boiler is ideal for facilities seeking the ultimate flexibility to operate their steam plant on either low-emissions natural gas or zero-emissions electrical power. This allows you to align cost and sustainability priorities while maximizing operational efficiency. Fuel switchover can be scheduled to take advantage of off-peak electrical rates or handled manually on a touch screen or remote interface.

If you are experiencing recurring problems or inefficiencies with your steam boiler, it may be time to consider replacement. It’s important to understand the warning signs that your steam boiler is reaching the end of its useful lifespan in order to avoid costly repairs and unplanned downtime.
