While my associate and I prefer the benefits of all four seasons in Lowell, Massachusetts, winter season causes some problems! It is by far the longest season, despite the usual start and end of winter season on the calendar, locals expect to raise the thermostat setting and start up the furnace by the end of September. It’s not unrespected for the eveningtime temperature to drop into the forties; By September, the lows are below frigid, for December, January and February, the temperatures are in the teens and often drop into the disadvantages! There is no hope of shutting off the boiler until May at the earliest. I’ve already needed to shovel snow out of the driveway on Mother’s Day. The especially long, brutally frigid winters in Lowell make a boiler furnace the ideal choice… One of the only disadvantages of a boiler is the lack of cooling capacity. By the time Summer arrives in Lowell, I have no desire to keep the windows closed, rely on an A/C and spend money ungodly high electric bills, then no matter how hot and humid it gets, I’m great with window A/Cs in the family rooms… Summer never lasts longer than two or three months and is often windy and rainy! My priority is a powerful, durable and efficient furnace. Unlike a boiler that uses air to move heat energy, a boiler uses water. Because water heats up faster and retains heat longer than air, the boiler doesn’t need to works as taxing or run as long to provide ideal comfort. The operation is especially disinfect and silent. The system provides a very gentle and consistent heating without introducing contaminants into breathing air. There is no air duct to worry about and no issues with unsatisfactory humidity. Plus, the boiler allows for the easy set up of zone control.
