For Peace of Mind: Invest in Reliable Comfort with a High-Efficiency Boiler
Are you tired of battling the winter chill with an aging or unreliable boiler? Are high energy bills leaving you feeling the chill of letdown? Investing in a modern, high-efficiency boiler can unlock unmatched comfort, lower energy costs, and reliable heating. Boilers are excellent for ductless or older homes. Stramowski Heating and Cooling helps you make informed home heating decisions, understanding the different types of boilers, energy efficiency, and the benefits of having a well maintained system.
Boiler Basics: How Do They Work?
Boilers are heating systems that use hot water or steam to transmit heat, through pipes, into your home via radiators. They run on natural gas, electricity, or oil.
Boilers can be as energy efficient as, or even more efficient than, standard forced air systems (furnaces). Regular maintenance (tune-ups) is crucial for peak performance and lifespan of your boiler.
