The Benefits Of A Steam Boiler

The Benefits Of A Steam Boiler

The steam boiler is a device that uses a vaporized water system to pump heat throughout a house or facility. A boiler typically consists of a water container, firebox, and smokestack. Boilers use natural gas, oil, or fuel to heat water in the lower part of the firebox. The heat is transferred from the hot water to the bottom of a tube-shaped metal container with hundreds of small holes inside. This container is called a furnace. The metal container heats up and makes hot air that turns into steam. The benefits of using this equipment are numerous.

1. No Need for External Energy Sources

The steam boiler does not require any external energy, like solar panels, or wind turbines, to work. It is a perfect source of energy for people living in areas without a lot of sunlight during the day and those living in areas with a lot of wind. Steam boilers are a great way to get clean, renewable energy. Steam boilers are more energy-efficient, they are designed to get their heat from natural sources to provide additional savings. Besides, it makes steam boilers eco-friendly as they produce less pollution.

2. Can be Used In Big Houses and Buildings

One of the benefits of using a steam boiler is that it can be used in tall buildings. For example, you can use them in big multiple-floors houses, even in factories, and warehouses where high heat levels are needed. The steam boiler can be used in tall buildings. Some of these buildings are made of steel and metal. This can cause the metal to rust over time, which means the boiler will have to be replaced. The metals can be heated up and melted down to no longer be a problem with a steam boiler.

3. Cleaning and Maintenance Is Simple

A steam boiler will work for many years without any problems at all. There is also minimal cleaning that needs to be done on a steam boiler. It is vital to use the right kind of water when using a steam boiler. The steam boiler is an elementary device and requires very little maintenance. A steam boiler can be cleaned with water and soap. This means that you do not need to hire a professional to clean your boiler. Steam boilers installation is simple and can be completed in a few hours.

FAQ

  • How do I know what size unit I need?
    If you have any problems with your system, you should contact the contractor who installed the units. All our systems are covered by a 5 year parts, 7 year compressor limited warranty
     
  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.  

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.
