When I first moved into my home as well as saw there was a boiler idea in it, I was absolutely bummed.
The boiler took up most of my basement as well as looked absolutely ugly, however my idea was the moetn I had the money I was going to upgrade it with a gas fireplace.
I wanted a focal feature in the family room that looked attractive as well as classy. I figured a glass front fireplace with fake stone would do the job nicely, then well it took me over a year in order to get the necessary funds to purchase a brand new furnace! By the time I had the money I realized that I no longer wanted to remove my boiler system. Why was I okay with keeping it? I realized that a boiler is super powerful as well as versatile. First, my entire home can really be heated by my single boiler system. All of my friends have multiple furnaces on every floor as well as virtually every room. My a single buddy uses a fireplace in the family room, an electric heating system in the living room as well as a gas heating system for the upstairs dining room. For me, the boiler can do everything as well as be tucked away from sight in the basement… Second, my boiler can be hooked up to piping as well as literally do anything. I could use my boiler to be a water heating system if I wanted. The boiler can also be connected to a swimming pool as well as be a pool heater. It can have piping under the blacktop in the driveway to act as a snowmelt system! Hydronic radiant floors are becoming more powerful as well as you need a boiler for that as well. I savor the options I have with my system.
