What Should You Know About Boilers?

What Should You Know About Boilers?

If you are a homeowner in the Toronto area, you must know about boilers in Toronto. One of the most important (but often overlooked) pieces of equipment in your home is the boiler. If you're not sure what a boiler is or what it does, don't worry. We will teach you everything you need to know about boilers.

 

How Do Boilers Work?

A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated. Boilers work by circulating hot water or steam through a system of pipes in your home. The heat from the water or steam warms the air in your home and is circulated through ducts. This type of heating is very efficient. You can use it in various processes or heating applications, such as central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.

 

What Should You Know About Boilers?

You should keep in mind a few things if you're considering having a boiler installed in your home.

  • Boilers require regular maintenance to keep them running correctly. You'll need to have your boiler serviced by a qualified technician at least once a year.
  • They can be noisy. If you have young children or are sensitive to noise, you may want to consider another type of heating system for your home.
  • Boilers can be expensive to operate. They typically use more energy than other heating systems, so you'll see an increase in your energy bills when you switch to a boiler. However, the money you'll save on your heating bills may offset the cost of the higher energy bills.

 

Pros and Cons of Having a Boiler

Some of the pros include that boilers are very efficient and can save you money on your energy bills. Additionally, boilers are low maintenance and can last for many years with proper care. However, there are also some cons to consider. For example, if your boiler breaks down, it can be expensive to repair or replace. Additionally, boilers are noisy and can be disruptive if you have young children or are sensitive to noise.

 

Why You Should Have a Boiler

Even though there are some cons to having a boiler, there are also many pros. Boilers require very little maintenance and can last for many years if cared for properly. If you're considering whether or not to install a boiler in your home, weigh the pros and cons carefully to make the best decision for your situation.

FAQ

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

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.  

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337
