It's easier than ever to install your high-performance boilers outside your building
Free up valuable indoor space and simplify installation with the trusted, reliable performance of the Benchmark Outdoor Enclosure or our Modulex EXT boilers.
Meet AERCO's Outdoor Solutions
The Benchmark Enclosure, designed to accommodate AERCO’s Benchmark boiler series, uses corrosion-resistant aluminum and zinc-coated steel. It allows outdoor installation in an industry-leading ambient temperature range from 20 °F to 120 °F, bringing indoor plant performance outdoors without compromise.
Engineered for performance and flexibility, Modulex EXT is a fully condensing, gas-fired boiler range (450 to 3000 MBH) housed in a powder-coated, weather-capable enclosure that integrates seamlessly with building-automation systems and offers simplified piping, venting and maintenance.
5 Benefits of an Outdoor Boiler Installation
Maximize Indoor Space
Indoor space is valuable, and mechanical rooms often compete with other priorities. Moving the boiler plant outdoors frees up critical square footage that can be used for other equipment, operational needs, or revenue-generating purposes. This is especially beneficial in retrofit projects where mechanical space is limited or difficult to expand.
AERCO’s Benchmark Enclosure for our Benchmark boilers as well as our outdoor-rated Modulex EXT boilers make this transition seamless - delivering the same high-efficiency performance while keeping valuable indoor areas clear for other purposes, including revenue-generating activities.
Simplify Design and Installation
Outdoor systems streamline design and construction by reducing the need for complex venting, flue piping, and combustion air ductwork. This can translate to lower installation costs, faster project timelines, and fewer coordination challenges between contractors and other project stakeholders involved.
Because AERCO’s outdoor solutions are factory-engineered for weather protection and service access, contractors can place, connect, and commission units with minimal on-site work.
Flexible Placement and Scalability
Outdoor-rated boilers can be installed where they make the most sense: on rooftops, exterior pads, or within dedicated enclosures. This can free engineers to optimize building layouts. As heating demand grows, additional modules can be added with minimal disruption, offering a scalable path to expansion.
This flexibility makes outdoor installations ideal for schools, hospitals, and other facilities where operational continuity and adaptability are essential.
Easier Access and Serviceability
Outdoor installations can provide clear, unobtrusive access for technicians. Maintenance and repairs can be performed without entering occupied spaces or interrupting building operations.
AERCO’s outdoor solutions are designed for accessibility and with durable components that simplify upkeep and extend equipment life.
Built for All-Weather Reliability
Our outdoor solutions are engineered for dependable, year-round operation in harsh conditions, featuring weather-resistant construction that shields components from rain, snow, wind, and temperature extremes while maintaining optimal performance.
Whether installed in a cold northern climate or a coastal environment, AERCO’s outdoor boiler solutions are built to deliver consistent comfort and efficiency no matter what the weather brings.
