Hot water boilers, radiator heat, hydronic heating system, steam boilers. these are just some of the names that the hydronic heating systems are called. either way you have a boiler in the basement that pumps hot water through your radiators, or base board, or radiant system to heat your home. Most people just turn the thermostat up to 70 or 72 and forget about the system at least untill the gas bill comes in. Then wow what happened! They even might say ” I didn’t think that I was the one paying the national debt this month”.
This does not have to be you.
Did you know that when a boiler is operating over a number of years rust and corrosion can build up inside the boiler causing you to use much more gas than you need to. This in turn causing your gas bill to increase.
With a professional inspection we can not only tell you if this is happening, we can show you whether it is or not happening to your boiler. If it is what steps can be taken to solve it.
In the event your boiler is nearing the end of its useful life we will go over your many options including the 94% modulating gas boiler and all the way down to the simple cast iron boiler.

Energy Saving Radiator Boilers
Save Energy
Benefits of Buderus Boilers and Heating Systems to Save Energy in your Home.
It’s easy to save energy with Buderus
Condensing boiler technology is the most efficient, environmentally friendly form of gas heating available today. Thanks to lower fuel consumption and lower heating costs, condensing boilers usually pay for themselves in only 2 to 5 years. Additionally, a modern condensing heating system increases the value of the building as well as quality of life by reducing emissions. Contemporary condensing technology offers an intelligent, easy-to-install solution to rising fuel costs and meets air quality regulation requirements. The energy saving gas boiler can be used with not only radiator water heating it can also be used for the baseboard cast iron, radiant floor heating, baseboard fin tube, and even indirect fired domestic water heaters.

Energy Geothermal
How Geothermal Works
Your own backyard has the potential to be an energy source for heating and cooling comfort. Outdoor air temperatures fluctuate throughout the year with the changing seasons. In contrast, ground temperatures about four to six feet below the Earth’s surface remain relatively moderate and constant all year. That’s because the Earth absorbs 47% of all the heat energy that reaches its surface from the sun. A geothermal system circulates a water-based solution through a buried loop system to take advantage of these constant temperatures. A single piece of equipment has the ability to heat and cool your home, while providing some or all of your home’s hot water as well. Geothermal systems can save you 30% to 70% on your monthly utility bills.
Positive Cash Flow
From the day you install you new GeoComfort Geothermal System, you’ll see immediate savings. A perfect example of this is in new home construction. The table below shows that while the extra cost of installing geothermal marginally raises the mortgage payment, the energy savings more than make up the difference. So, not only do you have better comfort, higher property value, and lower energy costs, it’s like someone is paying you to live in your new home from day one!
Heating Cycle
During the heating cycle, the fluid circulates through the loop extracting heat from the ground. The heat energy is transferred to the geothermal unit. The unit compresses the extracted heat to a high temperature and delivers it to your home through a normal duct system or radiant heat system.
Cooling Cycle
For cooling, the process is simply reversed. Because the earth is much cooler than the air temperatures on a hot day, the geothermal system removes heat from the home and deposits it into the ground. The fluid is cooled by the ground temperatures and returned to the unit for cooling your home.
The Heart of the System:
Geothermal Loops
Your loop system is the heart of geothermal technology. Regardless of the option you select, it will deliver over 300% efficient comfort and savings for many years into the future. Your local geothermal dealer will help you select the proper loop system based on a site survey and by conducting a detailed energy analysis of your home. Installing a geothermal loop system is like getting a 70% discount on energy for the life of your home.
Vertical Loop: This loop is used mainly when land area is limited and in retrofit applications of existing homes. A drilling rig is used to bore holes at of depth of 150 to 200 feet. A U-shaped coil of high density pipe is inserted into the bore hole. The holes are then backfilled with a sealing solution.
Horizontal Loop: This is the most common loop used when adequate land area is available. Loop installers use excavation equipment such as chain trenchers, backhoes and track hoes to dig trenches approximately 6-8 feet deep. Trench lengths range from 100 to 300 feet, depending on the loop design and application.
Pond Loop: A pond loop is an option if a large body of water is available within approximately 200 feet of the home. A ½ acre, 8 to 10 foot deep body of water is usually adequate to support the average home. The system uses coils of pipe typically 300 to 500 feet in length. The coils are placed in and anchored at the bottom of the body of water.
Open Loop: This system can be installed if an abundant supply of high quality well water is available. A typical home will require 4 to 8 gallons of water per minute. A proper discharge area such as a river, drainage ditch, field tile, stream, pond, or lake must be present. Check your local codes for restrictions before selecting a specific discharge method.
Radiators Water Heating System
Heating – keep it efficient and stress free
Keeping warm has been a consideration of those inhabiting colder climates since before recorded history. Methods such as wearing clothes and dwelling in either natural or manmade shelters are practices continued to this day, and just like early people, we still rely heavily on fire. As civilizations have continued to advance, so has the human ability to heat homes and places of work safely and efficiently. It is thought that the people of ancient Greece had a form of central heating which used hot air from furnaces – this method was called a hypocaust. Ancient Koreans also devised a similar method of heating homes sometime in the period between 37BC and AD668, and they called this an ondol system. Using water to distribute heat began in about 1716, in Sweden. The earliest steam heating systems were not developed until the 1830s, when Angier March Perkins installed a system in the home of a wealthy English banker, so that he could grow grapes in the UK.
Today, many find it difficult to imagine life without an adequate heating system, which not only keeps them comfortably warm, but also supplies hot water. Unfortunately, those who do not have their boiler’s and heating systems serviced and maintained regularly can find themselves in just such a position. Sudden issues with heating can be problematic as parts and repair can be costly, especially as these problems often choose to occur at inconvenient times, such as evenings or weekends! Though some can manage without good heating for quite some time, more vulnerable members of society, such as the elderly, infirm or the very young can be badly affected, sometimes becoming very ill. Not only can adequate boiler repair assist you to get your heating back up and running should it fail, it can provide great peace of mind. These days everyone can do with less stress, after all.
There are a number of other reasons you should have boiler cub membership can be useful, not only because we provide annual servicing. Just like any other appliance, and indeed person, boilers can benefit from a regular health check. If faults or potential problems are spotted early on, they can usually be repaired more cheaply, and can be prevented from worsening and leading to a full breakdown. Nipping these potential problems in the bud is beneficial to both you and to the boiler breakdown insurance provider.
Once you know that your heating system is fit for its purpose and healthy, you can concentrate once again on the more pressing matters in life, whether its work, parenting or looking after your own health. The last thing anyone needs in the current financial climate is a large unexpected expense – getting the boiler inspected elimates one potential crisis. Though it is summer at the moment, and parts of the US are stiflingly hot, heating system boilers are still working daily to produce hot water. Never let your boiler be out of sight and out of mind.
