Boiler Repair in Duluth, MN

Maintaining, Upgrading, and Retrofitting Your Boiler

Modern boiler systems can increase the efficiency of your home from 70% to 98.5%. They can convert nearly all the fuel into useful heat for your home. In the Northland, we tend to use heat up to nine months out of the year. Older boilers can be large and inefficient. This is why it makes financial sense to upgrade your system to a new, more efficient model installed by the experienced heating contractors Duluth, MN trusts at NorthStar Services.

Benefits of Choosing a Boiler Over a Furnace

• Most heating systems that produce radiant and consistent heat are driven by a boiler.
• A boiler uses hot water or steam to heat your living space as opposed to a furnace that uses warm air.
• Because the heat is coming from below, radiant heat provides an even and efficient heat distribution throughout the room.
• Rather than the heat rising and hovering near the ceiling, it stays where it is needed most - at the ground level.
• If your home has baseboards then it most likely uses a boiler system to pump hot water through the pipes under them.
• The heat from the hot water radiates through the subfloor to heat the room.
• The water allows the heat to be held for longer, making homes with boilers more evenly heated than those with forced air systems.
  

Requirements for Boiler Maintenance

• Check the condition of your vent connection pipe and chimney.
• Check the physical integrity of the heat exchanger.
• Adjust the controls on the boiler or furnace to provide optimum water and air temperature settings for both efficiency and comfort.
• If you are considering replacing or retrofitting your existing heating system, have the technician perform a combustion-efficiency test.
