What is a Boiler?
Boilers, simply put, produce steam to heat your house. Boilers turn water into steam and pump it into the house to heat pipes and other areas of your home. They are sometimes confused with water heaters depending on where you live in the US. While water heaters only heat the water you use throughout your home, a boiler is used as a home heating system.
Most boilers do not use new water consistently but use what is already inside the holding tank. The combustion chamber indirectly heats the water, sends it through the house, and moves it back to the boiler once it cools. This cycle continues to keep your home heated without wasting water or energy.
Some boilers are more efficient than others in cost and energy. There are six types of boilers that you can find in residences: natural gas, steam, electric, condensing, hot water, or oil-fired boilers.
- Delaware Boiler Repair
Issues and problems are inevitable with any unit, especially as it gets older. Some of the typical issues a homeowner might face for their boiler are leaking, low boiler pressure, hot water without central heating, no heat at all, boiler kettling, a frozen pipe, and strange boiler noises.
One of the most common boiler issues is a leak. Leaks can cause severe water and electrical damage to your home and may be caused by various things. Trained Harris technicians investigate the damage and determine the issue that needs to be fixed right away.
Timely repairs help improve the longevity and efficiency of a boiler. Waiting too long to fix any problems may cause long-term damage to your unit and reduce the life of your boiler, eventually making it irreparable. If you see any problems with your boiler, call Harris right away, and we’ll send one of our licensed technicians out right away to investigate.
- Delaware Boiler Installation
Having the right boiler for your home is crucial to keeping your home comfortable. It also saves you money when installing a more efficient, high-quality boiler system that doesn’t break down as quickly as low-quality ones.
When you install a boiler, there are several factors to consider, such as its fuel source, size, brand name, and pricing. If you use a gas-powered boiler, it needs to be connected to a gas line or propane tank to receive fuel continuously. An electric boiler will need to be connected directly to your home’s energy source.
Before deciding on a boiler unit, you want to make sure the vessel will fit in the designated space in your home. You need adequate room to install and store the boiler and ensure it will efficiently and evenly heat your residence. The way your home is ventilated will also determine the best type of unit for you. Some boiler systems require more open space than others to operate.
- Delaware Boiler Maintenance
Getting your boiler checked for annual maintenance regularly is vital before winter hits to ensure you have undisturbed heating throughout the cold months. During a maintenance check, one of our trained technicians will assess whether any repairs or replacements are needed and get the job done efficiently. Regular maintenance is the best way to keep your unit working correctly and efficiently to avoid running into any issues when you need your boiler and heating system the most.
