This is due to the electronics associated with the boiler, mainly the combustion air fan.  In the boiler dialog, there should be a number for EIR, which represents the electric use of the boiler.  This should be very low in comparison to the amount of gas used.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was doing a comparison report between an existing boiler and
a condensing hw boiler using the EEM Wizard, and I noticed that the condensing
hw boiler had electric space heat associated with it while the other boiler did
not.  Is anyone aware of where the electric space heat is coming from when
the entire building to be heated using gas.</p>
