Comparison

U.S. Boiler Company Alpine ALP080B vs ALP105B

Verdict in brief

The ALP080B and ALP105B are the two smallest Alpine sizes and share the same 2-inch/3-inch vent allowances, 95.0% AFUE and 32-3/16-inch cabinet height. The 105 adds 25 MBH of input and 24 MBH of DOE heating capacity for about 18 lb more weight and a wider cabinet, so choose by the heat-loss calculation rather than floor area.

What actually separates them

Both boilers are stainless-steel condensing, direct-vent, sealed-combustion appliances on the Sage2.3 touch-screen control with outdoor reset, DHW priority and warm-weather shutdown. Their rating rows both print 95.0% AFUE, with the ALP080B at 16–80 MBH input and 72 MBH DOE heating capacity against the ALP105B's 21–105 MBH input and 96 MBH capacity.

Venting is identical in structure: either size may use 2-inch intake/vent to 60 feet per side or 3-inch to 135 feet per side, so a long vent route does not force the larger model. The practical differences are capacity and dimensions — the ALP080B is 12-9/16 inches wide and 137 lb, the ALP105B 14 inches wide and 155 lb, both in the same 32-3/16-inch-high wall-or-floor cabinet.

In a low-load home the 080B's 16 MBH minimum fire tracks mild-weather demand more closely; the 105B is the better fit when the calculated heat loss plus any indirect-tank recovery exceeds what the 080B delivers on a design day.

Frequently asked questions

Do both Alpine sizes allow the same venting?

Yes — the data sheet lists 2-inch intake/vent to 60 feet per side or 3-inch to 135 feet per side for both the ALP080B and ALP105B.

Are both wall mountable?

Yes — the Product Data Sheet lists the 80 through 210 sizes for wall or floor mounting with a pre-installed hanging bracket and wall-mount kit included.

Which size should a typical home use?

That depends on a room-by-room heat-loss calculation, not floor area. The 080B suits lower loads; the 105B exists for loads above what the 080B delivers at design conditions.

Not sure which one fits your home?

A consultation includes a heat-loss review so the size is right the first time.
