In 2005, when the 110-year-old Biddeford City Hall, and the City Theatre as well the the Ice Arena’s, each needed new heating systems, following the recommendation of a board’s member, City Council approved the installation of Baxi Luna HT 1.65 commercial boilers in the facilities. The investment in the greener and more efficient Baxi heating solution paid off immediately, with annual fuel bill reductions of 50% fuel at City Hall and City Theater, and 30% less at the arena. The City also saved $20,000 a year previously needed to maintain the old system, and found that employee absenteeism had dropped dramatically with the high efficiency and environmentally sound heating system. In fact, the monthly oil bills used to be much as $5,000 for City Hall and City Theatre, while the natural gas bill has not exceeded $1,200 over the past years.
