BOILERS for Residential Heating

divider blue

Boilers are a popular choice for home heating systems because they are efficient and reliable. They work by heating water or steam and then distributing it through a system of pipes to radiators or baseboard heaters throughout the home. This method of heating is known as hydronic heating.

Boilers come in a variety of sizes and types to suit the needs of different homes. Some common types include gas boilers, oil boilers, and electric boilers. Gas boilers are the most popular choice for homeowners because they are efficient and cost-effective to operate. Oil boilers are also a good option for homes that do not have access to natural gas. Electric boilers are a great choice for homes that have electric heating systems already in place, or for those that want a boiler that does not require a fuel source.

What Size BOILER do You Need?

divider blue
The size of boiler you need will depend on the square footage of the space that needs to be heated. A general rule of thumb is to use around 50,000 BTUs per 1,000 square feet of space. However, this is just a general guide, and other factors such as insulation, windows, and local climate should also be taken into consideration.

BOILER FAQs

Here are some of our most common questions regarding boilers.
What are the different types of boilers?

There are several types of boilers available, including:

  • Conventional boilers: These boilers use a storage tank to hold hot water, which is then distributed throughout the home or building.
  • Combi boilers: These boilers heat water on demand and do not require a storage tank.
  • System boilers: These boilers heat water and store it in a cylinder, which is then distributed throughout the home or building.
  • Condensing boilers: These boilers are more energy-efficient than conventional boilers as they are able to recover heat from the flue gases.
How often should I have my boiler serviced?

It is recommended to have your boiler serviced at least once a year to ensure that it is running safely and efficiently. This service can help to prevent breakdowns, prolong the life of the boiler, and reduce energy costs.

What are some signs that my boiler needs to be repaired?

Some common signs that your boiler may need to be repaired or replaced include:

  • Strange noises or whistling sounds
  • Leaking or dripping
  • Loss of heat or hot water
  • Unusual smells
  • Pilots lights that frequently go out
  • Increase in energy bills
How do I know if my boiler is working efficiently?

ou can measure the efficiency of your boiler by looking at its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. This rating is a measure of how much fuel is being converted into usable heat. A higher AFUE rating means that the boiler is more efficient.

One of our certified technicians can measure the efficiency of your boiler.
