If you’re considering a boiler to heat your home this winter, you should know that they are much more efficient than the clanking, steaming behemoths that many people think of when they think of a boiler. Indeed, modern boilers have an efficiency rating of 98 percent or even higher. That means that 98 percent of their energy goes toward heating your home and is not wasted.
Types of Boilers
There are three types of boilers to choose from. One uses steam to heat, while another uses hot water. Both of these use radiators that are installed in your rooms. There’s also a combination boiler, which not only heats your home but provides hot water for bathing and washing dishes and laundry. Combination boilers are often the size of a suitcase and can be hung on a wall. They can be just right for a small home. Boilers can be powered by gas, propane, oil, or electricity.
HVAC Services
When it comes to boiler service in Chicago, you will choose a reputable HVAC company as you would to service your air conditioning. This company can install your boiler, maintain it so that it works well, and repair it when it doesn’t. A boiler can last over 20 years, but even boilers built and installed 10 years ago aren’t quite as efficient as the newer ones on the market.
