Trust me, I am actually aware that it is freezing frigid in Minneapolis, Minnesota, then our weather is freezing, snowing, and icy all the time.
- That is why to combat the weather I invested in a honestly great heating device, and i found that a boiler system is top notch to argument those freezing temps.
The boiler sits in my basement and is out of sight. It can work by having piping hooked up to it and do whatever you want. I could have chosen it to be my baseboard heater, hooked to a radiator, or even by the family overheated water tank. Instead I made the choice to have piping put under my floorboards. Then my boiler heats water and it flows through the pipes to create a heating effect. This is called hydronic heating and I highly request it for homeowners in Minneapolis, Minnesota. You can’t beat having the heat at your lowest level; Since heat naturally rises and the overheated air particles are lighter, you tend to waste cash heating the ceiling. The water based heat doesn’t do that. It stays low and doesn’t create frigid spots, then due to this I can lower the temperature on my thermostat. It also doesn’t make any sounds or stir up awful indoor air quality in operation. It is safer, cleaner, and more efficient. I cherish having a hydronic furnace in MN. I didn’t like having to rip up all my flooring for the upgrade although I would say that is the only con you are getting for this system. Yes, my floors are higher and heavier however who prefers that?
