Comparison

Utica Oneida CH-80 vs CH-100

Verdict in brief

The Oneida CH-80 and CH-100 are the two smallest Oneida heating-only boilers and share the residential wall cabinet, 95.2% AFUE, up to 10:1 turndown and the 8–10 MBH-class minimum fires. The CH-100 adds 20 MBH of input ceiling and 18 MBH of heating capacity (92 versus 74 MBH) with the net AHRI water rating up from 64 to 80 MBH.

What actually separates them

Both are wall-hung heating-only boilers of the Oneida CH residential line — the CH (Central Heat) models Utica documents as five sizes from 80,000 to 180,000 BTU/hr. They share the 28.2 x 17.4 x 16.9 in cabinet, the 74–101 lb weight range, 95.2% AFUE, up to 10:1 turndown and 3/4" NPT CH connections.

The CH-80 fires 8–80 MBH and the CH-100 10–100 MBH, with heating capacity at 74 and 92 MBH and net AHRI water ratings of 64 and 80 MBH respectively. Minimum fires are close enough that neither gains a real low-fire advantage in mild weather.

Neither produces domestic hot water — the CH models are central-heat only, with hot water left to a separate tank or water heater. The heat-loss calculation decides between the two sizes; the CO combi versions of comparable size add the DHW side.

Frequently asked questions

Are the CH-80 and CH-100 the same physical boiler?

Effectively: both sit in the shared 28.2 x 17.4 x 16.9 in residential cabinet at 95.2% AFUE. Only the firing range differs — 80 MBH against 100 MBH of input ceiling.

Do these CH models make hot water?

No — CH codes are central-heat only. Domestic hot water needs a separate tank or water heater; the Oneida CO combis integrate it.

Which one fits a home with a roughly 70 MBH design load?

Either could carry it; the CH-80's 74 MBH heating capacity with the 8 MBH minimum fire usually wins unless the calculation needs the CH-100's headroom.

Not sure which one fits your home?

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