Boilers
Throughout our Ohio, winter, boilers keep things toasty for dozens of homeowners. They create radiant heat through flooring, baseboards, and radiators. They also reserve hot water for showers, dishwashers, and laundry machines.
Year-round, Schar Heating & Cooling is pleased to offer high-quality heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions to homes and businesses across Rittman and the surrounding areas.
Upgrade and Save
Do you need a new boiler? If so, we have great news: boilers have grown way more efficient in the past decade. Newer models burn cleaner, creating a healthier environment and lowering energy costs.
Your old gas-powered boiler likely has an efficiency rating of around 56 percent. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), you could reduce your system’s yearly carbon emissions by up to 1.5 tons by upgrading to a new 90 percent efficiency unit.
How Do Boilers Work?
A boiler is different from a furnace or heat pump, which requires ventilation to distribute air through your ductwork. Instead, the boiler propels steam to your baseboard radiators, radiant floor system, or coils. The heating modules warm up, causing heat to radiate into your living space.
They can run on gas, oil, or electricity. Gas and oil boilers use combustion to heat the water, whereas electric units use a heating element.
Are Boilers Warmer?
Radiant heat usually feels warmer than other modes of heating. That’s because it doesn’t have to heat in cycles. Once a furnace or heat pump reaches thermostat temperature, it cycles off to save energy. Between cycles, the temperature will drop a few degrees. Boilers don’t have this problem.
