I have looked into buying myself a boiler system! I liked the thought of having a fantastic quality heating system for the Tuscaloosa winter.
It is not like it gets severely chilly with snow, ice, plus below freezing temperatures… However, it still gets chilly plus I like that boilers are so bendy, then a boiler system is a tank of a furnace that lasts a super long time, then with a boiler you don’t need to provide it much upkeep or love.
With ongoing cleaning plus inspection a boiler can live fifty years. Another perk is a boiler can be hooked up to baseboards, radiator, or your home’s water. It can serve as a water heater, hydronic heater, snowmelt system, pool heater, plus so much more! Living in Tuscaloosa I don’t use all those functions. What I have spoiled myself with is having a hydronic heater. I cherish having heated flooring. With this system you don’t have anything giant in the way for heating, however the boiler sits in the basement plus the radiant furnace is under the floorboards. It is silent when it heats, does not stir up dust, plus due to it being water based, you aren’t getting any forced heat rising to the ceiling, then nothing gets wasted or not used. A hydronic furnace is entirely fantastic for any type of weather. I do feel I added value to my home relying on a hydronic heater. The only con of the system is redoing the flooring after the replacement, then my floors were ancient plus due for an replace though.
