We are proud to announce the release of SteamMax; a new benchmark for longevity, efficiency, and flexibility in cast iron, gas-fired, steam boilers.
The all-new SteamMax boiler is offered as a solution to the widely-recognized simultaneous challenges presented by poor water quality and steam boiler design necessitated by efficiency standards. The new boiler has been specifically designed and built to overcome these issues.
A completely new, steam-specific cast iron heat exchanger design provides robust corrosion resistance in a wide variety of water conditions, along with an efficiency rating of 82% AFUE. The heat exchanger includes a larger steam chest with an increased steam disengaging area, a highly stable water line, and wider internal pathways. Heat transfer pins above the water line, a common problem area, have been removed and added below the water line. Cast iron sections are joined via leak-free metal push nipples instead of gaskets. Additionally, the boiler’s steam risers are placed on intermediate sections to promote smooth steam flow. The result of all these improvements is greater corrosion resistance in critical areas without sacrificing heat transfer or efficiency.
The SteamMax has also been designed for installation simplicity. Pre-cut, near-boiler piping kits are available for residential models between 75 and 250 MBH. Its rear, low-profile draft diverter increases overhead clearance, while tappings on both ends provides piping flexibility. An additional tapping (1.25”) is incorporated on the heat exchanger for the addition of an indirect tank or hydronic zone.
Available in 12 sizes ranging from 75 MBH (169 sq. ft.) to 550 MBH (1,396 sq. ft.), the SteamMax boiler is covered by an unmatched, 10-year waterside corrosion warranty (residential applications under 300 MBH).

Bosch’s new heat pumps deliver heat more efficiently with the quietest technology and one of the most compact cabinets on the market
Bosch Thermotechnology, a leading global source of high-quality heating and cooling systems, today announced the availability of its new, ultra-quiet heat pumps, the QV Series, for commercial spaces in multiple sizes and both horizontal and vertical configurations.
The commercial grade QV Series, a Florida Heat Pump (FHP) geothermal system, is an industry leader in sound reduction and represents one of the most comprehensive sound performance offerings on the market. In addition to the lower sound levels, the QV Series also delivers a compact cabinet, in a very competitive package, making it ideal to fit into small spaces in commercial buildings.
The QV Series includes a highly efficient, Constant Airflow ECM DEC Star® Blower that produces the same CFM (cubic-feet-per-minute) of airflow as the Bosch LV model, but at a lower RPM (revolutions-per-minute), resulting in decreased power consumption and sound. The QV heat pump also features Bosch’s patented compressor encapsulation, which includes high density mass loaded vinyl insulation material wrapped around the blower and also installed in the lower compartment, dampening the sound it emits. Additionally, encapsulation parts are installed around the compressor and assembled with heavy gage sheet metal and a double layer of vinyl material on both sides. The access panels and the unit’s divider use the same type of sound attenuation material, making the panels substantially heavier, thus highly reducing the sound radiating from the unit. As a final measure, the compressor is installed on an isolated and elevated base plate that dampens vibrations during operating cycles.
“This new whisper quiet system is going to be a game-changer for light commercial spaces such as offices, schools and hotels where heat pumps can be close to working or living quarters, so the quieter sound output makes a big difference in comfort,” said Katelyn Woodling, Manager of Product Management at Bosch Thermotechnology. “In addition to the benefit of the extreme quiet operation of these units, this system also provides the ability to efficiently transfer heat through the water source heat pump, and control the temperature in different zoning loops.”
The overall lowest sound rating for the commercial QV Series heat pumps is 53dB, making it an industry benchmark, and an excellent solution for designers to improve NC ratings in commercial spaces e.g. school classrooms and office spaces.
The commercial QV Series heat pumps were developed with patented technology to replace the limited sound reduction solutions on the market. For more information about Bosch Thermotechnology, visit https://www.bosch-thermotechnology.us/us/en/commercial/home/.

Bluetooth® connectivity streamlines measuring and quoting home improvement products
Paradigm announces its digital selling solution for home improvement contractors is now compatible with a popular line of Bosch laser measurement tools. The partnership adds another layer of convenience and accuracy to Paradigm Vendo™, while offering Bosch device users the ability to automatically transfer measurements to a quoting and selling application specifically designed for the remodeling industry.
Paradigm Vendo is an easy-to-use digital sales application that helps sales professionals showcase home improvement products to consumers at home or virtually. It works on any device and helps take control of appointment management, product configuration and comparisons, quoting, financing options, and e-signatures – everything contractors need to close more and bigger deals.
The integration of Bosch’s Bluetooth®-enabled laser measuring tools allows contractors to accurately measure construction features, such as doors, window openings and siding area, and automatically transfer the dimensions to Paradigm Vendo. From there, Paradigm Vendo enables contractors to easily configure and quote products, showcase options to homeowners, and even close the deal without ever pulling a traditional tape measure.
Paradigm Vendo is compatible with Bosch’s Blaze™ lineup of Bluetooth-enabled measuring tools , including the Blaze 165-foot Laser Measure (model GLM165-27C), Blaze Connected Green-Beam 165-foot Laser Measure (model GLM165-27CG), and Blaze Outdoor 400-foot Connected Lithium-ion Laser Measure with Camera (model GLM400CL).
“Paradigm is continually looking for efficient and innovative ways to help home improvement sales representatives more efficiently and effectively get their jobs done,” says Matt Davis, Paradigm Product Director. “Integration with Bosch laser measurement tools allows Vendo users to quickly capture precise measurements from the devices they already use in the field.”
