Boilers & Radiant Heat

How Does It Work?

At Humberview HVAC we only deal with boilers from reputable brands to ensure your boiler works efficiently and lasts for as long as possible.

How a boiler works depends on the specific type of boiler that you have in your home. Essentially boilers work to heat your home by producing steam or heating water that is then distributed throughout your home by being pumped through various radiators or radiant heating devices in your home. They can do this in a variety of ways that include radiators and small radiant baseboards.

In a radiant heat boiler, metal or pex tubes and pipes get installed within the walls and floors of your home which carry steam or hot water instead of heating the air in your home directly. The heat sources heat the surfaces of your home by being pushed into the circulation system through a pumping system, heating the air that is within the walls and floors of your home. This process allows your walls and floors to be heated without producing any air disturbances in your home.

Installation – Boilers are a great option to use when heating your home. Boilers are practical and reasonably priced when compared other heating systems. Installations are made easy when you contact us. We provide you with a diagnostic assessment along with recommendations of which boiler will fit your home, budget, and needs, best. Installations take no longer than a day but vary depending on the circumstance and boiler type. Our experts will ensure that your boiler works efficiently producing the heat you require in your home.

The Benefits of Having A Boiler

Boilers can be the ideal heating solution for your home by being:

    Energy-efficient: A radiant heating boiler helps you keep your home warmer because it is more effective in transferring heat to people, thus requires less energy to get the same job done. This helps you minimize the impact you have on the environment along with saving you money on your heating bills.

    Emitting consistent heat: Because the boiler pump is fully modulated along with the modulated gas valve responding to the small temperature changes in your home, the boiler pump only uses as much energy as it needs. This leaves you feeling a consistent level of warmth.

    Saving your home space: We install boilers that are efficient in savings and in space such as the compact wall-mounted “combi” designs. These provide you with heating along with hot water in one package and can easily be installed to fit your home.

How a boiler can add comfort to your home

• Toasty floors: Water boilers can be used in laying underfloor tubing beneath most finished floor materials. The underfloor tubing is connected to your heating system that emits heat to your floors leaving your feet warm throughout your home.
• Radiant-style heating: Connecting your boiler heating system to decorative panel radiators allows you to heat and dry things such as towels while it provides heat to the whole room.

Replacements - Maintaining your boiler is the key to having it run efficiently and without any hiccups. But sometimes it is time for a boiler replacement, and we are always here to help. Our licensed technicians will diagnose your heating system to see if it can be fixed or if a replacement is your best option, in which case we will make the process easy and painless.
