Happy Ending for Hotel That Inspired Classic Horror Novel 'The Shining': Boilers and water heaters net efficiency, cost savings

摘要

In the classic horror novel "The Shining," Jack Torrance, caretaker of an aging Rocky Mountain hotel, makes repeated visits to the basement to address the rumbles and groans of a monstrous, old hot-water boiler. The book was inspired by author Stephen King's stay at the historic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colo., which, until a few years ago, dealt with an inefficient hot-water boiler that was more than 30 years old.
