Maine Energy Systems, LLC (MESys) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Bosch Thermotechnologies, Inc., an international producer of high quality industrial and residential heating equipment, and the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Janfire NH pellet burner. Maine Energy Systems will be the exclusive distributor of the Bosch/MESys boiler system in the northeastern US. MESys will import these high quality pellet-fired boilers and distribute them only through Bosch trained technicians.
MESys will also provide bulk delivery in the areas it serves with pellet fired boilers. MESys will establish distribution centers and begin installing boilers in the Lewiston/Auburn, Portland, Bangor, Bethel, Augusta, and mid-coast regions this summer.
Mainers stand to save significantly on home heating as they bolster the Maine economy and do the environment a favor with a new MESys boiler.
