About the SwitchFire
Cleaver-Brooks describes the SwitchFire as a high-mass 316L stainless-steel firetube, fully condensing hydronic boiler with EX rifled tubes and variable-flow primary pumping. The catalogue copy sizes it up to 12,000 MBH, and it is dual-fuel: natural gas with #2 oil back-up, with a gas-only variant also offered.
Page data rows reference 98% efficiency in the spec-sheet table (fragmentary capture), and low-emissions operation on both fuels is stated. Because the efficiency fragment could not be verified against a full spec table, Boilers.ca leaves the structured efficiency field empty.
The product page's document library is public per the archived copy (full I&O set); live URLs were 403 to this research network, so no manual links are printed on this hub.
