Residential Boiler vs Industrial Boiler: Let’s Talk Residential
Hot water boilers or hydronic boilers are those that are used in homes, offices and other small buildings or dwellings. A residential boiler uses hot water to provide heat for the home. The water is brought to a boiling point and is then circulated through pipes and radiators to provide heating. Additionally, the boiler is also used for the hot water itself, that is distributed to the bathrooms, kitchen and other water sources.
The innovative central boiler system veers away from the traditional heating that needs to be localized in each room of the house. A centralized heating allows you to save money from your power bill, which usually shoots up during winter.
Boiler installation and boiler repair are not DIY- type of jobs. A registered gas safe engineer must handle these issues to ensure safety and efficiency. Boiler service done regularly will prolong the life of your boiler and avoid costly repairs.
