Boilers Versus Water Heaters

Published on February 05, 2017
Boiler Versus Hot Water Heater 617

There are many appliances you need to run your home. During the warm season you may need an air conditioning system or a heat pump. During the cold months, most homeowners need a furnace or air handler. Then you have washer and dryers, ranges, refrigerators…the list seems to never end.

But one thing homeowners definitely know is they require hot water. Most homes have a water heater – or in some instances a boiler is used to heat the water. Have you noticed which heating system your home utilizes to heat your water? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help clarify the difference between the two water systems.

A water heater is a large tank that, yes, heats water. The heat is either produced by burning gas or by employing electricity. A standard water heater will heat the water and then keep it at that temperature until the water is used, either for a hot shower, the washing machine, or any other hot water need. As the hot water flows to where it is needed, fresh cold water enters in the bottom of the tank so it, too, can be heated for use around your home.

A boiler, alternatively, can heat water that is used to bring heat to the home and heat the water. A particular type of boiler can heat the water until it actually turns into steam. The steam heats the water for the home but can also be dispersed throughout the home and create heat through radiators. A boiler is also capable of heating the air in a forced air heating system, or heat the floor in a radiant heating system. Boilers are very adaptable heating systems that give you great comfort during the winter season. Newer boilers are also very energy efficient.

Can’t decide which water heating system is right for you? Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Edmonton today and we’ll come out and provide you a free in-home estimate.
