Boiler Installation in South Bend, Indiana

Boilers Vs. Furnaces

What is the difference between a boiler and a furnace – and which one is right for your South Bend home? A furnace heats the air in your home, while a boiler heats the water. 

When a furnace heats air and disperses it with a fan through ducts and pipes, it can make the air dry and more likely to carry allergens like dust and dirt. 

Boilers heat water into steam that generates warmth through pipes that radiate in your home. The boiler’s radiant heat is gentle and more comfortable. Also, indoor air quality tends to be better with a boiler or radiant heating system. 

Benefits That Come with Boiler Installation

Goff Heating and Air Conditioning has the experience to install boiler systems in new homes or repair or replace the boiler in an older home. The benefits of going with a boiler for heating include:

Increased Energy Efficiency

Boilers use less energy because they heat water, not air. 

Longer Lifespan

While many industry specialists suggest replacing a boiler every decade, some boilers run perfectly for 30 or more years. 

Fewer Allergens 

Since boilers do not heat air or use ducts, they are not pushing dust, pet dander, mold or mildew spores, or other allergens into your home’s living spaces.

Even Heat Distribution

Because boilers radiate heat, heat is evenly distributed, especially when using a boiler for radiant flooring. They are excellent for new homes or businesses because you can use them for heated floor systems. 

Signs that Your Boiler Needs to Be Replaced

The above benefits are probably not news to those who already have boiler systems of their own. But, if you do have an older system that is starting to show signs of aging, here are a few clues that you’re in need of a boiler replacement:

• Your boiler requires frequent repairs
• Your boiler fails to warm your home completely
• Your boiler is over 15 years old and is showing signs of breaking down
• Your energy costs keep going up while your boiler’s performance keeps going down

Whether you want to repair your system or get an entirely new one, It’s important to solve these problems quickly. Goff Heating and Air Conditioning’s friendly boiler technicians can visit your home and help you chart out the right course of action.
