Boilers do not use a forced air distribution system to heat your home the way that furnaces and heat pumps do. Instead, a boiler heats water and the resulting hot water or steam is circulated throughout your home. Delivery systems vary. Steam radiators are a fairly common heat distribution system to use with a boiler. Radiant heating systems, such as hydronic heating which circulates hot water throughout a piping system in your home, are also quite popular. Either way, the elimination of forced air is beneficial for homeowners with indoor air quality concerns, as forced air systems can stir up pollutants and send them airborne.
Boilers also have fewer moving parts than other systems, which can help to cut down on repair and maintenance needs. Plus, no heat is lost through leaky air ducts, allowing boilers to operate quite efficiently. We would absolutely love sharing our expertise with you.
Signs of Residential Boiler Failure:
-
You're getting no heat.
-
Leaking or dripping water.
-
Loud noises.
-
Loss of pressure.
-
Lack of heat from your registers.
-
Discoloration.
While boilers may not require as many repairs as other heating systems, they still will not last forever. A number of different factors will influence your decision regarding when a boiler replacement service is necessary. If your boiler is unable to heat your home as effectively or efficiently as it once did, a replacement may be a good idea.
