Boilers
A boiler is a type of heating system that utilizes hot water or steam to provide heat. The heat can be distributed in various ways depending upon how the boiler is utilized. For example, steam can be distributed via pipes to steam radiators, usually mounted against a wall and commonly found in older homes and buildings.
Hot water is typically used in radiant heat and baseboard systems; radiant heat works by utilizing the floor itself, rather than air motion, to generate a field of warmth that permeates an entire room. Baseboard systems work by using the convection process. Air moves through a series of fins that have been heated by hot water and this natural air movement distributes the heat.
How does the boiler generate heat?
Boilers can use any type of fuel to heat the water. Gas, electricity, oil, even wood can be used to generate the heat that boils the water. Boilers are also generally quieter than forced air systems because they don’t require fans or blower motors to distribute the heat. Water expands when heated and this natural expansion circulates the water throughout your home’s heating system.
Do boilers need regular maintenance?
Yes, especially because they utilize very hot water under pressurization. Annual maintenance is recommended to check for any signs of corrosion, sludge, leaks, limescale, etc. as well as for checking the operation of the burners.

How do I know if my heating system needs repairs?
Look for tell-tale signs such as abnormally high energy bills, or if you notice that the system is cycling on and off at an increased rate. When you turn your heat on, does it take a long time to warm up? Are you feeling cold air when you should be feeling warm air? Are you noticing strange sounds coming from your HVAC system?
These could be indicators of an underlying problem and it’s much better to face the problem head-on when it could be resolved with a simple repair or adjustment, such as a clogged filter or a malfunctioning thermostat, rather than waiting and having the repair turn into something major.
