Published OnOctober 31st, 2008

Crown Oil Fired Boilers can be best used for residential homes that are new in construction or for old style homes that have chimneys. Crown Boilers have been designing and creating Oil Fired Boilers for over 50 years. They are a well-respected name in the heating industry and for good reason.



There are million of homes that still use oil heating. If your home is one of them, wouldn’t you want an Energy Efficient Boiler that can actually save you money on your home heating bills.

You can start by taking a look at this review of the Freeport CT Oil Fired Boiler. This boiler has a 3-pass technology, making the boiler more efficient than others on the market.

One reason for this is the system has been rated for a high efficiency rating of 87.6%. The circulating system inside the boiler allows hot flue gases to go pass through the heat exchanger 3 times. The majority of home boilers only have a single or double pass system.

The System was created to help the most from the boiler. The Freeport CT Oil Boiler has some interesting features; let’s take a look at what you are missing. There are some old style homes that come with chimneys that is what makes this style boiler so popular.

The Freeport Series Oil Fired Boiler is available in two models. The Freeport CT Series, which is used for the homes with chimneys. The Freeport ODV has a direct venting systems that is used for new homes and for homes that are making the change from electric to oil boilers.

Both styles of boilers come with factory installed Cast Iron Sections. These are design to help keep the heat in the boiler not out. Both styles of boiler have refractory insulated hinged doors with sight glasses on the door. This is beneficial in two ways; the refractory insulated doors will help with the energy efficiency of the boilers by keeping in the heat. The sight glass on the door will make maintenance on the boiler 100% easier.

Both the CT and the ODV has an A.S.M.E Certified Relief Valve that should be set at 30 PSI. Read the manual for the proper settings and levels the boiler you choose should be. By understanding what boiler you are have, will make service and troubleshooting much easier.

The Boilers come with either Beckett or Riello Flame Retention Oil Burner. Both Beckett and Riello have great reputations, no matter which one you choose you don’t have to worry about performance.

On the Freeport ODV only, there are some extras, such as a Differential Pressure Switch, an Inclusive Direct Vent Kit with Terminals. A Carlin Burner with Interrupted Ignition and a 30 Second Pre and Post Surge System.

The Freeport CT Series has 8 different models. They range in sections from a 3-section boiler to 8 sections. They also range in BTU’s from 92,000 to 286,000.

The Freeport ODV Series has 3 different models. They come in either 3 or 4 section boilers. They have a BTU range from 91,000 to 150,000.
