Boilers Versus Water Heaters

Published on February 05, 2017
Boiler Versus Hot Water Heater 617

There are many systems you need to run your home. During the summer you may need an AC system or a heat pump. During the winter, most homeowners need a furnace or air handler. Then there are washer and dryers, stoves, refrigerators…the list seems endless.

But a thing homeowners definitely know is they want hot water. Most people have a water heater – or in some homes a boiler is used to heat up the water. Do you know which heating system your home uses to heat your water? Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help explain the difference between the two water systems.

A water heater is a storage tank that, you guessed it, heats water. The heat is either created by burning gas or by using electricity. A traditional water heater will heat the water and then keep it at that temperature until the water is used, either for a warm shower, the dishwasher, or any other hot water need. As the hot water flows to where it is needed, fresh cold water enters to the bottom of the tank so it can also be heated for use around your home.

A boiler, contrastingly, can heat water that is used to heat the home and provide hot water. A particular type of boiler can heat the water until it actually turns into steam. The steam heats the water for the home but can also be circulated throughout the home and give warmth through radiators. A boiler is also capable of heating the air in a forced air heating system, or heat the floor in a radiant heating system. Boilers are very flexible heating systems that provide great comfort during the cold winter months. Updated boilers are also very energy efficient.

Need help deciding which water heating system is right for you? Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Dublin today and we’ll come out and provide you a no-charge in-home estimate.
