Smart thermostats can also improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.
Liquids are considered incompressible.
It may be worth considering a more efficient furnace as less energy will be used to achieve the same heat output.
Boiler efficiency is in general indicated by either thermal efficiency or fuel to fluid efficiency depending the context.
This is the measure of the energy efficiency of a system s ability to change the thermal conditions of an area based on the ratio of energy input relative to energy output.
