Boiler Heating Experts, at Your Service
We’ll let you in on a little secret: that “thing” in your basement that heats your home may or not be a furnace, but chances are you call it a furnace anyway. It’s just what people do.
And yet there’s an excellent chance you don’t have a furnace at all, and that your home is heated by a boiler or another type of home heating system. Here’s an easy way to remember which is which:
- You have a furnace if your heating system heats air to provide heat and warm air is distributed through air ducts.
- You have a boiler if your heating system heats water to provide heat, and warm air is distributed through baseboard units, radiators, or perhaps even an under-floor heating system.
This page is for you if you have a boiler. In fact, if you do, you’re in great company since boilers remain hugely popular throughout our service territory.
Boiler Maintenance | Home Boiler Tune-up
Boilers are built to last and last, but they won’t last long enough all without annual preventive maintenance.
