Here in Ohio, many people count on their boilers for heat each winter. If you are new to the area or buying an older home with a boiler, you may have some questions about how they work. Boilers tend to run on natural gas. Most units don’t create steam, only hot water. This water travels in a sealed system to radiators, baseboard heaters, or radiant floor systems to disperse heat into your rooms. Modern boilers are as energy-efficient as gas furnaces. Boilers often heat homes in areas that have severe winters and where the cost of natural gas is cheaper than the cost of electricity.

Like any heating device, boilers need regular maintenance to keep them running optimally. Boiler systems that are not maintained can cost you money each month in higher fuel prices. Also, boilers not operating at their greatest efficiency can cause strain on the system. Strained systems can cause premature parts failure.

Boilers tend to break down in various ways.

• Pump failure
• Electrical control failure
• Low water pressure
• Heat exchanger water leak

If your boiler is no longer heating your home properly, we will find the cause of the problem. Boilers tend to last about 15 to 20 years. If yours is at the end of its useful service, there’s a bright side. According to the Department of Energy, older units only had a 56% to 70% efficiency in converting natural gas to heat. The newer boiler models must be at least 80% efficient, and some now achieve as much as 98.5% efficiency. After purchasing a new unit, you will save money over time on your utility bills.
