Forced Hot Water Boiler Basics

A forced hot water boiler, also called a hydronic heating system, is very common in the Greater Boston area. The boiler is fueled by natural gas. It heats water, which is then distributed by pipes throughout the house, where radiators disperse heat from the hot water. When the water cools down, it is returned to the boiler to be reheated and recirculated. Boilers are long-lasting and may even last for decades as long as they are properly maintained. Annual heating system tune-ups will help ensure your boiler performs at maximum efficiency, and they’ll also extend its lifespan.

 

Do You Need a Boiler Installation or Upgrade?

Boilers give us signs when they need a replacement. Does one or more of these signs sound familiar?

  • Some rooms in your home are much warmer or much colder than others
  • Your boiler is more than 12 years old
  • You are paying more yearly for fuel
  • You deal with recurring breakdowns and repairs throughout the winter
  • You notice clunking sounds or suspicious smells coming from your boiler

If so, contact McMahon to learn what your options are.
