The modern Boiler Westchester NY has come a long way compared to it’s ancestors. It may seem odd, but for many of us, the term boiler brings up memories of old school water tanks heated by coal stored in basements and hand shoveled into furnaces. The furnace heated the water to produce steam and the steam would travel to pipes which run throughout the home and into radiators which warmed the various rooms of the building. Of course, this was a somewhat inefficient method for heating, but it was far better than the older method of the fireplace.
The current level of Boiler Westchester NY technology has improved significantly. Some of the current crop of products sport over ninety percent efficiency and a few claim even a ninety seven percent rating. Of course, coal is no longer the fuel of choice in these units, that category now belongs to natural gas which provides a clean and safer fuel alternative for most Boiler installations Westchester NY. However, fuel is not the only reason for such efficiency improvements. One of these advances is the replacement of the pilot light, that ever burning and very wasteful method for starting the burning process with an electric ignition system. Another is the methods used to move heat through the system, the addition of a sealed combustion chamber and a secondary heat exchanger.
The decision to replace an old Boiler Westchester NY with a completely new version versus retrofitting the old one should be well thought out. It is not just a simple task of replacing the unit and tying into the existing system. New boilers can have higher pressures which could tax the existing pipe system including the fittings where the boiler initially connects. Another consideration for many people is the total cost of ownership. Most boiler systems start in the mid two thousand dollar range and the price increases as the features are added. If your existing system is old, you may need to replace other parts such as the chimney liner and some companies may charge for the removal of the old unit. One benefit to new units for many homeowners are the federal and state tax breaks they can receive.
