BROOMFIELD’S BEST GAS BOILER COMPANY

A boiler uses either steam or hot water to heat a house, and when the system is properly installed, it can last as long as 40 years. In a steam boiler, water circulates around a heat source through a complex arrangement of tubes. Steam from the water flows through a supply main to radiators, gives up its heat, condenses back into water and returns to the boiler. In a hot water boiler, the water temperature is raised to about 240 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated liquid is also piped through a supply main to radiators. These boilers have an expansion tank above them that lets the water pressure safely increase and helps the water circulate through the system. Boilers can also serve radiant heating systems in which tubes are placed in the walls or the floor.

A BOILER-FED RADIANT HEAT SYSTEM IS:

• Capable of being zoned
• Much easier to maintain
• Less likely to dry out the air
• Less likely to spread dust or allergens

EXPERT GAS BOILER INSTALLATIONS FOR BROOMFIELD RESIDENTS

Since we install both types, our customers often ask us whether gas or oil is better to power a boiler. Generally, oil burns hotter than gas, and it will heat the house faster. On the other hand, oil has to be delivered and kept in a storage tank. It usually costs more to run an oil boiler than a gas boiler, and oil is a bit less efficient than gas. In other words, both fuels have benefits and drawbacks. Ultimately, it’s up to the customer to choose.
