What Type of Heating System Do You Have?

A Grand Lake Plumbing & Heating expert would be happy to tell you about your options and help you make the best decision when it comes time to upgrade to a new, energy efficient home heating system.

Boilers

Boiler heating systems consist of a sealed chamber that converts water to steam or heats water for circulation in a hydronic heating system. Some boiler systems have radiators distributed throughout your home and other boilers distribute heat through baseboard heaters or even radiant pipes in your floor. Boilers are a very clean and efficient way to heat your home.

Gas Furnaces

A forced air furnace is an enclosed heating unit that heats air by transferring heat in a metal combustion chamber to the air circulating it throughout heating ducts in the house. Forced air furnaces can run on electricity, natural gas, propane or fuel oil.

Hot Water & Radiant Heating

Electric or gas fired boilers are the most common heat source to provide hot water to the following hot water distribution systems.

Radiant heat is commonly installed under floors and has been our most common heat system in our area for more than 15 years.

A Radiant heat system uses a boiler or geothermal system to circulate tempered water throughout the structure. Pex tubing is often imbedded into the flooring, thus turning your entire floor into a comfortable heating surface and system.

As an alternate to a Forced Air system, these systems allow homeowners to have several different thermostats located throughout the home. This allows for different temperature settings in different rooms as needed.
