Corporate History
Axeman-Anderson Co. began its business of building and selling boilers in 1944. In addition to making boilers, the company is known for innovation with products for mobile homes that are approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as well as its outdoor heating system.
Axeman-Anderson's Product Lines
Coal BoilersAxeman-Anderson coal boilers are used in homes and apartment buildings and come in various sizes. Called Anthratube, the coal boiler uses anthracite as fuel and is touted for its ability to eliminate ash dust through use of an internal vacuum system. The company claims that running an Anthratube can cost 50-percent less than other heating systems such as gas or oil.
Electric BoilersAxeman-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 BoilersAxeman-Anderson gas boilers can be used indoors, outdoors or in mobile homes, and can be fired by gas or oil. The indoor Centaurus model operates on demand instead of continuously, making it 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. The outdoor heating modular (OHM) system, meanwhile, was designed for solar additions. It is installed outside to lower operation noise and increase space in the home. The compact MPO-S can be installed inside or outside of the mobile home and fired by gas, oil or propane.
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 BoilersOil boilers produced by Axeman-Anderson can be used indoors, outdoors or in mobile homes. There are five models of indoor boilers: the WL series, the NPO Series, the Centaurus (can is also a gas model of this type), the Vesta and the Olympia. The NPO models boast an 88.7 AFUE (efficiency).
