- Environmental friendliness: Modern boilers are environmentally friendly as they don’t rely on fossil fuels to provide heat.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boilers
How do boilers work?
Boilers work by heating water. The heated water provides either hot water or steam for heat, which is then distributed throughout the house through steam radiators, baseboard radiators, or radiant heat systems
High-efficiency boilers offer a comfortable, energy-efficient, and clean source of heat for your home.
Is a boiler and water heater the same thing?
While they may look similar, boilers and water heaters have different functions:
- Boilers heat water and turn it into steam that is used to heat your home.
- Water heaters produce a potable supply of water for cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene.
What’s the difference between a boiler and a furnace?
A boiler uses hot water and a heat exchanger to heat your home. A furnace is a forced-air heating system that relies on a blower motor.
Are boilers efficient?
Because boilers don’t require air ducts, there is less energy loss. However, when choosing a boiler system, it is important to make sure it is the right fit for your home.
Annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) is the metric to measure boiler efficiency. The number notes how efficiently the heating system converts energy to heat. So a boiler with an AFUE of 90% tells you that 90% of the energy in the fuel is becoming heat, only losing 10%.
