Learn about our expertise below and call us at 715-345-9990 to make an appointment.
What Is a Boiler?
Boilers use water to create and distribute warmth throughout your house via radiators, heating it just enough to keep the temperature between 65 and 75 degrees. Like most heating and cooling systems, they come in different types to match any given home’s needs. Those include:
- Conventional or regular boilers—using a separate water cylinder and boiler, these are ideal for larger homes or those with an older heating system
- System boilers—suited for homes with higher hot water demand, larger houses, or those with multiple bathrooms
- Combi boilers—also known as a combination boiler, they provide instant hot water and can save space. Ideal for small- to medium-sized homes
Benefits of a Boiler Installation
Energy Efficiency
Water is a much more efficient conductor of heat than air, meaning you’ll spend less for warmth with a boiler than a furnace. And with no ductwork, you’ll also minimize heat and energy lost.
Even Heating
Steam from the water heated rises, which provides blanket-like warmth for your home. You won’t have to deal with hot or cold spots in the house.
Longevity
With proper boiler maintenance—which Bob’s Plumbing can also help you with—your system can last 10 to 15 years or more. Plus, with fewer working parts inside it, the need for boiler repair is also reduced.
Choosing the Right Boiler
Like with any HVAC system, choosing the right one for your home is essential. Some factors for you to consider include:
- The size of your house
- How much hot water you and your family use
- What your budget is
- The energy efficiency ratings of your new system
