Why boilers are better than a oil heater

This type of heating is often recommended for people who suffer from asthma, dust irritations or respiratory sensitivities.

For areas that experience a long and serious Winter time weather, a boiler heating method is the ideal choice. The only real draw back of this type of heating system is the lack of a centralized cooling option. There are temperatures where this isn’t a concern. If the main priority is heating, a boiler can handle a substantial workload. The difference between a oil furnace and a boiler is mainly how they distribute heat energy throughout the home… A oil furnace requires a duct method and sends heated air through the pipes to vents situated in each of the rooms, but unluckyly the HVAC duct tends to allow a good deal of the heated air to escape. There is the potential for contaminants to be introduced into the living space. The heated air tends to rise straight up toward the ceiling and only fall back down when it cools off… By comparison, a boiler heats up water and circulates it through a closed loop system. The process is silent, safe and avoids any introduction of allergens. The pipes can be linked to any combination of baseboard heaters, radiators or radiant radiant heated floors. There’s even the choice for towel warmers or an outdoor snow melt system. As a hydronic system, boilers can heat up a room much faster and don’t cause concerns with insufficient humidity. This type of heating is often recommended for people who suffer from asthma, dust irritations or respiratory sensitivities. Another benefit of a boiler is the easy set up of zone control. Accommodating nearly any size or layout of home, the method includes independent thermostats on each floor or in every room for customization of temperature settings. Targeted heating eliminates the need to heat unoccupied spaces and also caters to personal preferences.
