Corporate History

Axeman-Anderson Company began their business of building and selling boilers in 1944. In addition to making boilers, they are known as industry leaders in research and development of high quality and efficiency heating products. The Axeman-Anderson Company is also known for innovation with products for mobile homes that are approved by Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the US and with an outdoor heating system.

Coal Boilers

Axeman-Anderson coal boilers are generally used in homes or apartment buildings and come in various sizes. Called Anthratube, the coal boiler uses anthracite as fuel and is touted to eliminate ash dust because of an internal vacuum system. The company claims that running an Anthratube can cost 50% less than other heating systems.

Electric Boilers

Axeman-Anderson electric boiler units are called Enerstor. They can be used with a forced warm air heating system, central hot water, or as an addition to a heat pump system. A benefit of this electric boiler is that it uses low-cost off-peak electricity and can be used with solar power systems. The Enerstor requires no chimney.

Gas Boilers

Axeman-Anderson gas boilers can be used indoors, outdoors, or in mobile homes. The indoor Centaurus model operates "on demand" instead of continuously, making it highly cost effective to run. Additionally, the Centaurus operates quietly, is easy to take care of, and resides in a compact housing with controls and pipes that are easy to reach.

Axeman-Anderson gas boilers are in compliance with the Hydronic Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufactures (IBR) standards and tested by the Department of Energy (DOE).

Oil Boilers

Oil boilers produced by Axeman-Anderson can be used indoors, outdoors, or in mobile homes. There are four models of indoor boilers: the WL series, the NPO Series, the Centaurus (can is also a gas model of this type), and the Vesta. The NPO models are DOE rated at 88.7% efficient on an annual basis.

All Axeman-Anderson boilers come with a non-prorated warranty, which means that "it's as good in forty years as it is in two." The company says that consumers can be as confident in the products they buy as the company is in the products they make.
