Boiler affixs to radiant floors and snowmelt system
Living in the northeast, really close to the Canadian border, the Winter time weather creates a lot of work and expense, the two of us deal with un-even temperatures down to disadvantage twenty-several and the wind chill makes it know even colder.
The annual snow accumulation respectfully adds up to more than 2 feet; With the Winter time conditions lasting approximately eight months, all of us need a really powerful and durable oil furnace! I am lucky to have a boiler installed in our home.
The boiler is a hydronic oil furnace and affixs to a series of pipes concealed beneath the floors. These pipes circulate moderate water to create heated flooring. The benefits of this type of oil furnace are outstanding. I don’t have any ugly heating unit taking up living space or looking ugly. The operation is silent, clean and there’s really little repair; Because the heat is spread across the entire floor and radiated rather than blown into the air, there are no drafts and really little stratification. The difference in temperature near the floor and up by the ceiling is only around 2 or more than 2 degrees! Plus, the boiler and radiant floors accommodate zone control. I have a temperature control in each room that allows customized temperature settings. The two of us can cater to personal preference and avoid heating empty rooms, then one of the best features of the boiler is that it affixs to a snow melt system installed under the pavement of the driveway, walkways and front patio. The snow melt system reacts to moisture and temperature drop, automatically starting up and keeping the pavement clear. I don’t need to shovel, plow or use harsh chemicals, and all of us don’t get wet feet walking to the car.
