Boiler System Installation for the Piedmont and Triad Areas of North Carolina
Both natural gas and oil boilers are a great economical choice when it comes to selecting a heating source for your home. These heating system work different than a traditional air forced furnace in that boilers use water to distribute heat. The water is heated, and steam is distributed to radiators and throughout other methods like tubing for focused heating—like your floor or other areas. This is a bit different than from forced air furnaces. One of the main reasons that boilers are still popular is given the heat efficiency and utilizing water as the heat source. Which in turn, acts as a humidifier in the winter. Here in the Piedmont Triad part of NC, its welcome as our winters can have dry conditions.
While boilers are a bit more expensive than traditional air forced systems, over time, you’ll save money, and your heating cost are typically lower than traditional systems. Water retains heat longer than air, so this is what makes them a more energy-efficient choice.
Can I Use My New Boiler System for Other Purposes?
So, essentially, a boiler is a lot like a hot water tank. However, it distributes heat instead of the water. However, there are times when a boiler can and does deliver water as well. Many times, some homes may want to have an instant hot water pot filler or perhaps radiant floor heating for a bathroom. We’ve even had requests for running copper tubing to driveways to ensure no ice in the winter.
