In addition to repairs and maintenance solutions for all makes and models of boilers (check out our boiler service annual maintenance plan ), our technicians complete hundreds of boiler change-outs

: Bob FormisanoWarm Air Heating Systems - Furnaces: If the heat in your building is provided by warm air that flows out of ceiling, wall, or floor air supply registers into the occupied space, or if your heating system uses a water-to-air heating system then the air which warms the living space is probably being delivered through large or small diameter ducts

Steam boilers operate at a higher temperature than hot water boilers, and are inherently less efficient, but high-efficiency versions of all types of furnaces and boilers are currently available. To learn more about furnaces, boilers and other types of home heating systems, explore our Energy Saver 101 infographic on home heating.

Next to forced-air heat, a boiler-and-radiator system is the most common type of heating system in cold-winter climates. All boiler systems use hot water to heat the home. There are two main types of boilers—steam and hot water (also known as hydronic)—and many more types of radiators or heating appliances, the units that transmit the heat into the rooms.

Gas Boiler Heating System | HVAC Systems. This gas-fired boiler offers good hot water heat for those cold winter days. Hot water heating is top-rated and is considered to give the space even heat throughout the space. The hot water gas boiler can also be expected to provide at least thirty years of useful heat.

2  · If it's a gas boiler that was installed after 2005. If it's a oil boiler that was installed after 2005. Combi vs regular boiler. A regular boiler is more efficient than a combi at producing hot water, but some heat is inevitably lost from the hot water cylinder. Therefore, a combi boiler may be more efficient overall. Electric heating

Some hot water systems circulate water through plastic tubing in the floor, a system called radiant floor heating (see “State of the Art Heating”). Important boiler controls include thermostats, aquastats, and valves that regulate circulation and water temperature.

In steam heating systems, a boiler furnace heats water by means of a gas or oil-fired burner and turns it into steam. The steam travels through pipes to radiators or convectors, which give off heat and warm the room. As the steam cools, it condenses back into water, and returns to the boiler to be heated again. Hot water heating systems operate

Hot water heating systems are built around the premise of radiant heat. Water is heated by a boiler and circulated throughout a building--usually homes (older homes, especially)--through a series of pipes that heat radiators that give off heat. The heat transfers to the air in the room.
