Frequently Asked Questions About Boiler Installation
Boilers work by heating a liquid that is then pumped through the pipes. The liquid then enters devices like radiators, in-floor heating loops etc. to help keep your home comfortable and heated. In addition, combination boilers can also heat the water in your home, eliminating the need for a water heater.
Different types of boilers currently available include system boilers, standard boilers, and combination boilers. Combination boilers are most often the top choice as they heat your water as well as your house. If you are looking to install a boiler in your home but are not sure which type of boiler to use, have a heating expert from Absolute Air Services come to your home and assess your heating and water needs. Your Absolute Air Services heating professional can then recommend what system is best for your home and even offer you a free quote on the cost of the boiler and the install.
Most boilers typically last about 10 to 15 years. It’s important to note that having the proper maintenance done at least once a year by professionals at Absolute Air Services will greatly increase the lifespan of your boiler and further help prevent potential problems leading to unnecessary repairs and premature replacements.
A few indications that you may need to replace your boiler include frequent breakdowns, higher bills, your water and/or house not heating sufficiently, and/or unexplained noises. If you notice any of these problems with your boiler, you will probably benefit from replacing it with a new one as these are all indications that your boiler could fail soon, and the costly repairs will only continue. Call Absolute Air Services to have a heating expert consult with you on installing a new boiler and even provide you with an estimate before installing anything.
This will largely depend on the same factors previously outlined regarding the cost of installation, however as a guideline a like for like replacement that connects directly to the existing pipework could be fitted in a single day. If for any reason alterations to the existing system are required for the system needs power flushing, then the boiler installation may typically take between one to three days. Finally, if you have chosen to install an alternative system such as a heat pump, you may need to allow up to three to five days depending on your specific situation to allow for additional work such as drilling which may need to be carried out.
The difference between a water heater and a boiler is that a water heater generally heats the water in your home that can be used for showers, cleaning, cooking etc. while a boiler heats water to a much hotter temperature to keep your house warm. With modern advancements, a new type of boiler has been invented, known as a combination boiler, that does actually have the ability to heat both your house and your water.
Your boiler is a large, complex unit that will deliver years of exceptional heating to your entire home. So, it is important that it’s installed correctly, otherwise, this costly investment can go to waste. Although multiple factors determine the overall cost of new boiler installation, the type of boiler you choose has the largest impact. Our expert HVAC technicians at Absolute Air Services will help you find the perfect boiler to install that’s best for your home in Middlesex County.
The 3 main types of new boiler installations available are:
Traditional Heat-Only Boilers have a two-tank system. One tank stores cold water, and the other is used to maintain the normal water level of your home’s central heating system. One benefit of having a traditional boiler includes keeping up with a Middlesex County winter’s heating demands. Even if you have low water pressure from your mainline, there is no drawback to the capability of the traditional boiler. Traditional boilers are also compatible with older heating systems. However, owning a traditional boiler can take up a lot of space, and you will lose more energy than alternative options if the tank is not insulated properly.
System Boilers accomplish the same task as a traditional boiler, but in a more energy-efficient way. These types of boilers have a single-cylinder that stores hot water (like the traditional boilers) but the main difference is in how the boiler unit is constructed. The hot water & heating system components are built into the boiler unit itself, versus stand-alone units. This boiler system makes it simpler and easier to install – they do not require a separate tank to accomplish the same result. One benefit of having a System Boiler unit installed is that they are compatible with solar heating systems, making them more energy-efficient than alternative options. Ask Absolute Air Services for a cost estimate on which boiler installation option is best for your Middlesex County A home today!
A Combination Boiler system combines a central heating boiler and a high-efficiency water heater. The system doesn’t need a cylinder to store the water because the combination boiler heats the water directly from the mainline. Cost estimates for combination boilers tend to be lower than traditional boilers because they are smaller, more efficient, and less complicated. Another reason to consider a combination boiler is that there is no need to worry about water pressure – as mentioned previously, the water is heated directly from the mainline. Another great reason to select a combination boiler is that there is no waiting time, and hot water is on-demand because it does not have a water storage tank!
