Boilers

Boilers are a type of hydronic heating system, which means they use water as a heat transfer medium. A boiler heats water inside a tank using either natural gas or electronic heating elements. The hot water moves through pipes until it reaches terminal points located throughout a home. These terminal points are usually baseboard heaters or radiators. The hot water warms up the object, and it then radiates heat into the room. The cooled water returns to the tank where the process starts up once more. There is no need for ductwork, fans, or many other mechanical components associated with other heating systems.
