Peerless
About Peerless
Peerless Boilers has been manufacturing heating equipment since 1914, originally founded in Buffalo, New York. Now operated by PB Heat, LLC out of Bally, Pennsylvania, the brand carries over 110 years of boiler engineering heritage. Noritz Corporation acquired PB Heat in January 2019, bringing global HVAC resources while keeping Peerless operating as an independent brand.
The product lineup spans gas-fired and oil-fired boilers for residential and commercial applications. The PUREFIRE series delivers 95-97% AFUE condensing performance with stainless steel heat exchangers, while the Pinnacle handles oil-fired condensing at 92% efficiency. Peerless also manufactures cast iron boilers, steam boilers, and the Partner line of indirect-fired water heaters. The company offers lifetime warranties on cast iron parts for original residential water boiler owners.
High-efficiency Peerless condensing boilers qualify for the federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. Upgrading from an older atmospheric boiler to a PUREFIRE condensing unit can cut heating fuel consumption by 15-30%. The brand is well-known among hydronic heating contractors, and Noritz backing ensures continued parts availability and product development.
UniColorado Heating & Cooling specializes in converting Denver homes from boilers and furnaces to air-source heat pumps, qualifying homeowners for $2,000 federal tax credits.
