Throughout our Michigan, winter, boilers keep things toasty for dozens of homeowners. They create radiant heat through flooring, baseboards, and radiators. They also reserve hot water for showers, dishwashers, and laundry machines.

Year-round, Answer Heating & Cooling is pleased to offer high-quality heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions to homes and businesses across Freeland and the surrounding areas.

Upgrade and Save

Do you need a new boiler? If so, we have great news: boilers have grown way more efficient in the past decade. Newer models burn cleaner, creating a healthier environment and lowering energy costs.

Your old gas-powered boiler likely has an efficiency rating of around 56 percent. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), you could reduce your system’s yearly carbon emissions by up to 1.5 tons by upgrading to a new 90 percent efficiency unit.

How Do Boilers Work?

A boiler is different from a furnace or heat pump, which requires ventilation to distribute air through your ductwork. Instead, the boiler propels steam to your baseboard radiators, radiant floor system, or coils. The heating modules warm up, causing heat to radiate into your living space.

They can run on gas, oil, or electricity. Gas and oil boilers use combustion to heat the water, whereas electric units use a heating element.

Are Boilers Warmer?

Radiant heat usually feels warmer than other modes of heating. That’s because it doesn’t have to heat in cycles. Once a furnace or heat pump reaches thermostat temperature, it cycles off to save energy. Between cycles, the temperature will drop a few degrees. Boilers don’t have this problem.

Boiler Maintenance

Boilers last 10 to 15 years—but you must keep up with maintenance. We recommend scheduling an annual check-up in the fall so that your heat is ready to work all winter.

Preventative maintenance keeps the steam flowing without interruption. One visit could be the difference between your technician making a minor correction—versus you paying for a costly repair or replacement in the future. It also extends the lifespan of your equipment.

During a typical visit, here are some of the vital tasks your technician may perform:

  • Bleeding your boiler
  • Checking for corrosion and replacing your anode rod
  • Inspecting heating element

Our specialists work hard to secure your comfort and safety. Call today to make an appointment or learn more about our Maintenance Plans.
