About the KC

AERCO's archived official KC1000 Boiler page describes the line as 'the first high-efficiency, commercial, gas-fired, hydronic boiler introduced in the US', performance-proven for more than 18 years and intended for multiple-boiler or combination domestic water/space heating plants, available in natural gas and propane with an optional low NOx burner and dual-fuel support.

The page states the condensing heat exchanger design withstands thermal shock and eliminates the need for boiler pumping equipment; the forced-draft modulating burner operates with 20:1 turndown (natural gas) to deliver up to 95% thermal efficiency; each 1 million BTU/hr unit controls temperature to within ±2°F and occupies a 78"H × 22"W × 57"D footprint. Controls are the C-More panel with EMS integration and remote access.

AERCO's current product tree no longer lists KC boilers, and the KC Boiler Tech Data Sheet from the old document server is no longer online, so productStatus is left unknown rather than claiming a discontinuation AERCO has not printed. The live OMM-0032 manual still covers 'KC Boilers & Water Heaters, KC1000 Series'. No official Canadian-sales statement was found.
