Is It a Boiler or a Furnace?

Hopefully you already know that boilers and furnaces are two different things. They serve the same purpose (keeping your home warm), but they accomplish it differently.

Not sure whether you’re dealing with a boiler or a furnace? It’s pretty easy to tell the difference. Just look for radiators or vents in the home. If a home has radiators (or baseboards), then it also has a boiler. If a home has vents, then it also has a furnace.

An Intro to Boilers

What is a boiler?

A boiler is a hydronic heating system. Hydronic refers to the transfer of heat by circulating water or water vapor (steam) in a closed system of pipes. Your boiler uses hot water or steam to heat your home.

How do boilers work?

A hot water boiler burns fuel to heat water that is then pumped through pipes to baseboards, radiators, in-floor radiant tubing, or other sealed hydronic devices throughout your Northeastern Pennsylvania home. Then the water returns to the unit and the cycle continues.

With a steam boiler, the process is very similar. However, the water is converted to steam before circulating throughout your home.

What are the benefits of having a boiler?

There are a number of reasons people like and choose boilers for their home. Boilers offer the following benefits: Boilers run fairly quietly. And because they don’t rely on fans or blowers, they don’t add any dust, dirt, or allergens to the air. That’s ideal for anyone with allergies or respiratory concerns.

What is the life expectancy of a boiler?

How long do boilers last? On average, 15 to 20 years. If yours is 15 years or older, it’s time to consider a replacement, especially if your boiler is giving signs it’s on the outs.

Signs Your Boiler Needs to Be Replaced

Here are some signs it may be time to replace your boiler:

• It’s getting old.
• It’s using more energy.
