Do You Have a Furnace or Boiler?
Do You Have a Furnace or Boiler?
Many people don't realize there is a difference let alone know hoe to tell the difference. Thes easiest way to figure out what's keeping you warm is to look at your baseboards. If you have ducts that blow warm air you have a furnace, but if you see pipes with hot water flowing through them you have a boiler.

Furnaces require an annual tune up by a professional. They also need to have the air filter to be changed every 60 days. The filter can usually be changed by yourself but if you feel like you need help don't hesitate to call us!

Boilers don't require a lot of upkeep. All that is required is keeping an eye open for any leaks and an annual tune-up by a professional.

Furnace Heating System
Furnace Heating System
Pros
Pros
Efficient Heating: Furnaces have the ability to quickly and efficiently heat up a space.
Even Heating Distribution: Furnaces distribute heat evenly throughout your home, ensuring consistent comfort across all rooms.
Cost-Effective: Furnaces can be more cost-effective to install
Compatibility: Furnaces can easily integrate with existing ductwork, making them suitable for both new construction and retrofits
Reliability: Modern furnaces are built with advanced technology, offering reliable performance and longevity when properly maintained.
Cons
Cons
Ductwork Requirements: Furnaces require ductwork for heat distribution, which may not be feasible in some older homes or buildings without existing duct systems.
Indoor Air Quality Concerns: Poorly maintained furnaces can contribute to indoor air quality issues, including the circulation of dust, allergens, and other pollutants.
Environmental Impact: While newer models are more energy-efficient, furnaces can have a higher carbon footprint compared to alternative heating systems.
Boiler Heating System
Boiler Heating System
Pros
Pros
Energy Efficiency: Boilers have higher energy efficiency, as they can operate with lower fuel consumption.
Zoned Heating: Boilers allow for zoned heating, meaning you can control the temperature of different areas or zones within your home independently, increasing comfort and energy savings.
Quiet Operation: Boilers operate quietly, without the noise associated with forced-air systems like furnaces.
Longevity: Properly maintained boilers can have a longer lifespan compared to other heating systems.
Improved Air Quality: Since boilers do not rely on air circulation like furnace, they typically do not contribute to indoor air quality issues such as dust and allergen circulation.
Cons
Cons
Installation Cost: Boilers can have higher upfront installation costs compared to other heating systems.
Complex Installation: Installing a boiler may require significant modifications to your home's infrastructure, including piping and radiator installation, which can be complex and costly.
Slow Heating Response: Boilers typically have a slower heating response compared to furnaces, as they need time to heat up water and distribute it through radiators or underfloor heating system.
