Fired Boilers - Keeping Warm for Less

When it comes to heating your home in the winter months, there are many different options available to you, with the most popular  one being some form of central heating.   In years gone by, oil fired boilers considered the best form of heating. They created hot water or steam that was pumped into a series of radiators throughout the house or place of business. . In bigger towns and cities, the oil boiler gave way to the gas fired boiler, especially when natural gas pipes were laid and this relatively inexpensive fuel became more readily available.   In recent years, the price of natural gas has steadily risen to the point where it’s no longer the cheap source of heat that it once was.

This has led to a resurgence of oil fired boilers that are far more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient than their predecessors ever dreamed of. Many of them like the Weil McLain boilers are rated as being anywhere from 85 to 95% efficient and as such, pump far less in toxic fumes into the atmosphere than ever before.

The best fired boilers, whether using gas or oil, are the condensing combination boilers that use a condenser placed in such a way  that it captures the heat that would normally go up the flue and use it to boost the overall efficiency of the  entire system. This type of system has been proven to save as much as 30% in annual heating bills.

The other half of the combi boiler is the tankless hot water supply., You will no longer have a hot water tank wasting energy by staying hot for those times when you don’t even need it. Instead, you get an endless year round supply of hot water on-demand.

The modern fired boiler central heating system is proving once and for all that we can learn from the past and apply it to the future. With the new boilers, it has become cheaper than ever to keep our families warm all winter long.
