As industries move toward decarbonization, electric steam boilers offer a clean, efficient alternative to traditional fossil-fuel systems. Perfect for facilities with large electrical capacity or surplus power, these boilers deliver reliable steam without combustion—meaning no greenhouse gases, no air permits, and no stacks to install.
Nationwide Boiler provides two proven technologies:
- Electrode Boilers from Vapor Power
- Resistance-Style Boilers from Precision
Why Choose Electric?
- Zero local emissions
- Simplified compliance (no Title V permit required)
- Compact, easy-to-install design
- Lower maintenance—no burners or fuel trains
Ideal Applications
- Food & beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Data centers with excess renewable power
- Facilities targeting carbon neutrality
Electric vs. Gas-Fired Boilers
- Using electricity as a clean, efficient and easily controlled fuel, all the energy input to the boiler is converted to steam with 99% efficiency
- There are no stacks to purchase and there are zero pollutant emissions
- With no local emissions, no Title V EPA permit is required for installation
- Electric Boilers typically produce higher quality steam throughout the operating range
Advantages of Electric Steam Boilers
| FEATURE | ELECTRIC BOILER | GAS-FIRED BOILER |
|---|---|---|
| Emissions | Zero | CO₂ + NOx |
| Efficiency | ~99% | 80–85% |
| Air Permit Required | No | Yes |
| Maintenance | Low | Moderate |
