(Hot Water / Steam)
Boilers are used for hot water heating, steam heat, domestic hot water, and in-floor heating systems. Hot water heat is easier to maintain and regulate than forced-air heat and usually depends upon baseboards, radiators, or plastic tubing for in-floor heating to transfer heat. Boiler systems can be zoned to supply heat to specified areas only. Because boilers are not fan driven they are quiet and highly recommended for people with allergies.

Boilers have the ability to make domestic hot water thus eliminating standard domestic hot water tanks. This is accomplished by internal boiler heat exchangers or external water hot water makers using the boiler to supply heat. (See Amtrol or Storal Water Makers)

In-floor heating is the most efficient heating available today. Steam heat, on the other hand, is the least efficient type and requires old-type radiators to transfer heat to indoor air.

To comply with Energy Star requirements, hot water boilers must have a minimum AFUE efficiency rating of 85%, and can continue as high as 92% efficient. Steam boilers must have a minimum of 81%.

Natural Gas & Propane Fueled Boilers: Minimum 85% AFUE Efficiency and are direct vented out the side of the structure, or in some cases use the existing chimney.

Oil Fueled Boilers: Minimum 86% AFUE Efficiency.

Boiler (Steam): Minimum 81% AFUE Efficiency.
