A boiler plays an important part in giving your family absolute comfort, especially during winter. It is typically used as a component of a hydronic heating system, which circulates hot water to radiators or baseboard heaters. These hot water boiler systems work quietly, safely, and provide an evenly distributed heat throughout your home. Boilers minimize the accumulation of dust and other allergens, creating a clean and healthy environment that is suited for people who suffer from skin allergies or respiratory diseases.
Our certified technicians at Four Seasons Air Specialists have been installing and servicing boilers to our customers for many years.
Our goal is to be able to provide homeowners with the best heating and cooling brands that is why we partnered with AO Smith, which is a leading manufacturer of high-efficiency water heaters.
This article talks about one of the best gas boilers on the market today, the HYB-90N NEXT Hybrid® gas water heater that delivers 90% thermal efficiency, offering tremendous energy savings.
How Does a Boiler Work?
A boiler is a water-containing vessel that transfers heat from a fuel source (oil, gas, coal) into steam which is piped to a point where it can be used to run production equipment, to sterilize, provide heat, to steam-clean and other purposes.
It is comprised of a feed water system, a steam system, and a fuel system. The feed water system provides water to the boiler and regulates it automatically to meet the steam demand. Various valves provide access for maintenance and repair. The steam system collects and controls the steam produced in the boiler. Steam is directed through a piping system to the point of use. Throughout the system, steam pressure is regulated using valves and checked with steam pressure gauges. The fuel system includes all equipment used to provide fuel to generate the necessary heat. The equipment required in the fuel system depends on the type of fuel used in the system.
Benefits of Having a Boiler at Home
A boiler utilizes a clean form of heating that doesn’t produce dust particles and other allergens. Since the heat in a boiler system radiates out from the radiator into the air that already exists, no new air is entering the space. In forced air systems, the new air is what generally causes dust and allergens to enter the atmosphere.
A boiler generates comfortable, high quality heat. The heat from a radiator infuses the room, in contrast to being forced through ductwork and out a vent. This gives your home a better kind of heat and a fresher feeling than forced air systems and disperses the heat more evenly.
Quiet operation is another advantage of boiler systems. Unlike forced air systems that produce noise as air circulates out the vents, a boiler heating system’s operational noise is restricted to inside the boiler. The rest of the system is practically silent.
