Oil Fired, Hot Water Boiler
Optimal Efficiency & Operation for Oil Heated Homes

The Starfire III natural draft chimney vent & SW side wall vent oil-fired water boilers deliver high efficiency, reliability and ease of maintenance for homes requiring hot water heat fueled by oil. A smart design combined with quality components result in lower operating costs making the Starfire III & SW Series an ideal replacement or new construction choice.

High Efficiency Ratings (86%)

With efficiencies up to 86% AFUE, the Starfire III & SW Series provides increased energy savings resulting in lower fuel bills. The boiler's wet-base design helps overall efficiency by enclosing the combustion chamber with water on all five sides therefore maximizing heat transfer. With the potential cost savings this represents, the Starfire III & SW Series will pay for itself in a few short years.

Cast-Iron Sections and Push Nipples

The Starfire III & SW Series utilizes cast-iron construction because of its durability and efficient heat transfer capabilities. Cast iron sections and push nipples are utilized to construct the heat exchanger. Using only the highest quality cast-iron and heat transfer designs, the Starfire III & SW Series will provide many years of efficient and trouble-free operation.

Easy Access & Maintenance

A sturdy cast-iron swing door allows for quick and easy inspection of the oil burner and combustion area while extra large flue ways allow for easy cleaning and set-ups. These flue way openings are easily accessed through an integrated two-part draft hood. In addition, a recessed target wall increases the chamber size and is protected from accidental flue brush damage during normal maintenance. All components are easy to reach, greatly reducing the time spent on regular maintenance and service calls.

High-Performance Burner Versatility

The Starfire III is designed to accommodate various oil burners. Choose manufacturer approved burners from Beckett, Carlin or Riello. The SW Series is available with the Beckett AFII burner.

Tankless Water Heater Option

An optional tankless hot water coil is offered with the Starfire III & SW Series. It features off-set tappings to speed installation and service. Used with a flow control and tempering valve, this tankless heater is an ideal method of providing domestic hot water for most installations.
