AERCO Launches Benchmark NX for Light Commercial Applications
AERCO, a Watts brand, announces Benchmark NX, a compact, high‑efficiency commercial boiler for light commercial applications, including multifamily buildings, education, retail, office buildings and small healthcare facilities. Engineered for right‑sized performance and simple integration, Benchmark NX delivers dependable comfort, lower energy costs and scalable operation in tight mechanical spaces.
Available in 399–500 MBH sizes, Benchmark NX is designed to solve the common constraints of smaller commercial systems: limited space, variable loads and the need for straightforward controls integration. With up to 97.4% thermal efficiency and 10:1 turndown, the boiler helps reduce fuel use across seasons to lower energy costs.
The advanced, integrated Edge Controller ensures operational efficiency. It provides application flexibility, easily sequencing up to 16 boilers and delivers timely maintenance alerts – supporting smooth operation and helping prevent downtime. With Benchmark NX, engineers and facility teams can design smarter plants that scale. The combination of a compact footprint, multi‑boiler sequencing and BMS‑ready controls puts reliable, efficient heat within reach for light commercial buildings.
