My Staff and the management board want to extend our thanks to your team and the Burner Booster System, as it has operated extremely well these last 12 months compared to the 2-4 lockout/shutdowns per week we experienced before. There were a couple of units we had with small leaking of about a table-spoon of oil per day under the box, a little speedy-dry was added, and then you made the adjustments.
Now for the AWSOME news your company has been waiting; we have saved over 1 full tank of oil, (7,200 gallons) fill-up, and that puts our saving at $24,500.-$26,000. FIRM compared to the past years average usage. The % saving with factoring in the coldest winter-spell points way north of 28% you were preparing me and my organization to expect. Our Calrin 1150 oil burner, which you boosterized, has proven to have been the most positive experience for keeping the operating cost down and reliability up in my facility.
I want to go on record to say we are more than grateful and very pleased, to have this relief from our operating budget. Sadly yet, the only one who believes we saved this much is the management, myself and accounting. It’s just too good to be true. Your guarantee of 15% or better or we get our money back sealed the deal. Well it’s kind of funny about the savings, we got more than our money back the first year in savings!!
Thanks again and Good luck.

Dear Eric:
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how very pleased we are with the results being
achieved using the two Burner Booster systems at our facility here in Rutland. This has been the best investment I have seen in my time here at Genesis in regards to energy savings. The
savings and service is nothing less than outstanding! But more important we don’t have the
smells from our boiler room and the boiler room is not half as hot and uncomfortable to be in.

I’m also impressed on how clean they both burn, it is great not to smell boilers running from when I get out of my truck to go into the building.

I have been tracking the savings on our boilers, (forced hot-water and one steam) and we are seeing an unbelievable savings in comparison of our past traditional usage. Savings on domestic hot-water fuel usage is over 25%. While during this entire heating season we are holding at a wonderful 27.2% savings; calculating for heating degree days.
I must admit many think the savings too good to be true, but I have a surplus in my heating
budget after taking on the coldest winter I can remember. I also want to thank your rapid
response in correcting and assisting on some issues that were non-Burner Booster related.
I hope my company expands its use of the Burner Booster in the other Genesis faciiities using oil.
Sincerely,

To whom this may concern,

In November 2013 we purchased two Burner Boosters (BB). One BB was installed in a Northern Armory in Houlton, Maine with an average of 7,175 Heating Degree Days (8,387 HHD for 2013-2014) and the other BB was installed in a southern Armory in Sanford, Maine with an average of 7,000 Heating Degree Days (7,895 for 2013-2014).
We are pleased with the savings in both locations. In the Sanford Armory we saved approximately 2,500 gallons of fuel oil (20% savings) and in Houlton we saved approximately 6,650 gallons (36% savings) based on our seven year average fuel consumption for both facilities.
We did experience a few technical issue throughout the heating season, although none were insurmountable. In Houlton the main issue was non-response from the contractor who won the bid. They were certified by Burner Booster as a reseller/installer, but as we all found out they did not have a oil burner mechanic on staff and was over 250 miles from the site. Therefore, we had our in-house Maine Army National Guard burner technicians from Augusta respond (~200 miles one way) with Eric Lavoie to correct the burner/flame issues. Eric made the necessary modifications to the BB in Houlton to our satisfaction. In Sanford, Eric also respond to a couple burner “no heat” issues one being a transformer issue and the other a stuck pressure gauge which had nothing to do with the BB. In the later case Eric “walked” the sergeant on site through a troubling shooting procedure that identify a stuck pressure gauge that was subsequently repaired by the Maine Army National Guard.
Going forward, we are currently evaluating the potential of Burner Boosters in other facilities. We will have a tighter scope of work that will require a Maine qualified burner technician to install any future Burner Booster along with required subsequent service calls two and four weeks after install and monthly thereafter for the winter season concluded by a shut down and cleaning and they will have to be able to respond within an half hour.
Our projected savings that was used for our pay back analysis for the two Burner Boosters was based on an estimated savings of 15% or approximately 4,500 gallons.
We exceeded the initial estimate by over 100% with over 9,150 gallons of fuel oil which equated to 30% savings between the two Armories during one of the coldest winters over the last 10 years. Again we are pleased with the savings and we are currently evaluating the potential of Burner Boosters in other facilities.

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Jon Harbison and I am the General Manager for Harbison Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc, located in Houlton, Maine. I am writing this letter in reference to the Burner Boosters we purchased from your company in the spring of 2013. We purchased four Burner Boosters that we installed in two separate buildings in two schools in Hodgdon, Maine. Two boosters were installed in the Hodgdon High School and two in the Hodgdon Elementary School.
Throughout the 2013-2014 heating season, we kept in close contact with the school bookkeeper to see how the fuel savings were compared to previous heating seasons. The results have been surprising and very favorable. The final figures have not been tabulated, mainly because we live in Northern Maine and we just shut down our heating systems. The school has reported to their Board of Directors that to date, they have saved somewhere between 38 – 48% over last year. This is due exclusively to the installation of the Burner Boosters. Nothing else was changed to either building that would contribute to fuel savings. might also add that this past winter was the toughest winter we have seen in 20 plus years. In our current economy and continued constraints on Public School budgets and cuts, this is a very welcomed savings to the Hodgdon School district.
Our company did experience a few technical problems with the Burner Boosters, but nothing we were not able to correct immediately or with any expense to the school. We would also add that Eric Lavoie’s assistance with these mechanical failures was immediate and without hesitation. Eric, on several occasions, dropped everything to travel hundreds of miles to help us out and stand behind his product. We can’t thank him enough for that. During these mechanical failures, the buildings were at no time without heat. Both buildings have dual boiler arrangements and one boiler carried the load while we fixed the malfunctioning unit. Most of the failures were in ordinary burner parts and not necessarily the Burner Booster Box. Eric also supplied us with a complete Burner Booster Box along with some spare burner parts specific to the burner that we were having trouble with. Eric was well aware of the climate that we live in and the urgency to revive a heating system when it goes down. Thank-you Eric from our company and the Hodgdon School District.
In closing, the Burner Boosters installed easily, with Eric’s guidance, their “Return on Investment” will be less than the projected 2 ½ year payback time frame, and our customers are happy, VERY HAPPY. We were challenged at the outset with some very doubting Board
Members and local citizens who really questioned whether or not they would see the kinds of savings we were projecting. We left them with their “jaws on the table” when we reported the results. Keep up the good work Eric and your associates, and keep on developing more energy efficient equipment.
