Hello. We just got a new Buderus boiler. Our electric bill doubled when we put it in. Has anyone experienced this? It was supposed to be energy efficient.

They are regarded as a premium boiler. The controls are complex and an average oi tech may not understand how to set it up. That said an oil boiler doesnt really pull much power. They do use outdoor reset which tends to run the circulator pumps longer per day but unless they are the old style pumps the new ECM pumps do not pull much power.
Does your utility actually read your meter every month or do they do estimates sometimes?
When you say your bill doubled, what are the KWH usage readings for each month?

A new oil boiler should not cause a power bill increase. What was the situation before? What did it replace? Anything else done?
