Congratulations to our UGLY BOILER CONTEST Winner!

Congratulations to our Ugly Boiler Contest winner!

We are pleased to announce that Bristol resident Nancy Wallen has won our 2023 "Ugliest Boiler" Contest. 

Quinoco Energy Services General Manager Jim Hickey and Energy Kinetics Territory Manager Mark Santangelo presented Mrs. Wallen with a state-of-the-art Energy Kinetics Ascent Combi boiler alongside her daughter Janice Pierce.

“The Ugly Boiler Contest couldn’t have come at a better time. Mom’s boiler was on its last legs and parts were hard to find. This really is the best Christmas present,” enthused Pierce.

Energy Kinetics Mark Santangelo was present for the installation. “Mrs. Wallen will enjoy years of fuel savings and quiet boiler operation. Many congratulations from our entire team at Energy Kinetics.”

According to the contest selection committee, the boiler was original to the house and still housed many of the equipment’s original components.

“It was really incredible to see that Mrs. Wallen’s boiler still had its original oil burner. Sixty-five years ago, peak efficiency was at 1725rpm whereas current models run at 3450rpm. From just that upgrade alone, Mrs. Wallen will see a big improvement in how she heats her home,” explained Hickey.

“All together I’ve been a Quinoco customer for over 60 years,” said Wallen. “Quinoco has always taken care of me and my home.”

Quinoco’s Ugliest Boiler Contest received many entries from not just their service area but across the state and even one entry from Rhode Island! “Getting entries from all over the state really is a sign of how so many homeowners struggle to heat their homes and update older rundown heating equipment,” shared Hickey. “A new boiler like the one we’re installing for Mrs. Wallen can reduce a home’s annual oil consumption by up to 40% and will pay for itself in energy savings in a few short years while significantly reducing carbon emissions.”

Mrs. Wallen wasn’t the only one to benefit from Quinoco’s Ugliest Boiler Contest. The second and third place winners, also from Bristol, will enjoy $1000 off and $750 the installation of a new boiler or furnace from Quinoco respectively.
