Boilers, which heat water to produce steam or hot water that is then distributed through pipes to radiators or in-floor systems, offer a number of benefits for homeowners.
- Superior Comfort and Even Heat: Boilers provide radiant heat, which is often described as a more consistent and comfortable warmth than the forced air from a furnace. This type of heating transfers heat to objects and people directly, eliminating the hot and cold spots often found with other systems.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Since boilers do not use forced air, they don't circulate dust, allergens, and other pollutants throughout your home. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
- Quiet Operation: Without the loud fans and blowing air of a forced-air system, boilers operate with minimal noise. This makes for a quieter, more peaceful home environment.
- High Energy Efficiency: Water is an excellent medium for retaining and transferring heat. Because boiler systems don't lose heat through leaking ductwork, they are often more energy efficient than forced-air systems. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills over time.
- Longer Lifespan: Boilers have fewer moving parts than furnaces, which means there's less wear and tear on the system. With proper maintenance, a boiler can last 15-30 years or more, which is significantly longer than the average lifespan of a furnace or heat pump.
