The Function of the Boiler Burner
A boiler is a necessary and common addition to many houses throughout the UK and United States. There are many reasons for having one. One of the most popular is their efficiency. For instance you will find that it is much more efficient to use a boiler for central heating and air than it would be to actually use a heater. Why? Because boilers burn with more efficiency, and because they can incorporate many different functions into one. For instance you would previously have needed a central heater and a hot water heater. Most boilers are combi boilers that feature a boiler burner and can combine both of these functions into one. There are a few limitations to this however. The first major...

The Condensing Oil Boiler - Is it the Right Choice For You?
Oil fired condensing boilers are just starting to be used in the United States. There are some obstacles to over come and some great advantages to condensing oil technology.

Wood Boilers: An Improvement on the Traditional Wood Stove
Wood boilers take the idea of the traditional wood stove and improve on it, solving some problems inherent in wood burning and making wood a clean, safe, and efficient source of heat. Wood stoves have been used for centuries; a very famous American, Benjamin Franklin, invented the Franklin stove in the 1700s as a safe alternative to fireplaces, which were dangerous - likely to catch the mainly wooden homes standard back then on fire - and not particularly efficient. The stove provided radiant heat in a relatively safe manner compared to the open fires of fireplaces. While wood stoves were supplanted by central heating decades ago in urban and suburban environments, in the country many people...
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Basics
HVAC, (the acronym that stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) means little more than a creature comfort, necessity, or a stiff repair bill to most homeowners today.

Underfloor Heating - Roman to Modern Times
Underfloor heating (UFH), though widely used in northern Europe and has become quite popular in the UK in recent years, has its origin dating far back in the Roman period. Hypocaust heating system introduced by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago is the forefather of modern central heating systems. Firstly used in Roman baths about 100 BC, it was later introduced to private houses. Empty spaces under the floors, such as cellars, were heated with a light furnace and the warm air around the cellars would heat the floors of the rooms above. How does modern underfloor heating works Warm water is circulated from your boiler to the electrically operated zone valves (radiators, hot water, underfloor heating...

What is Radiant Floor Heating?
So what is radiant heat? This is a climate control method that involves heating a room by heating it surfaces -- whether it's the walls or, more often, the floor. Older homes were built with radiators in the corners, which heated the room by getting very very hot. The problem? Often they got too hot, and would burn anyone unlucky enough to touch them. Or they only heated the five square feet around them. Modern radiant heating systems utilize broad surfaces that don't need to heat up as much. What's the science behind it? Radiant heat is a form of thermal radiation, or energy that radiates from an object's surface; it's the same principle as those old radiators. All objects have temperatures, and...
Radiant Floor Heating Costs

The primary investment needed for installing a radiant electric floor heating system or a radiant panel heating system in a single room would be a lot less than the cost of installing a hydronic or liquid floor heating system for the same room. Although the cost for operating a hydronic system is lower, it demands a higher investment initially. This kind of...

These had to be left on the floor where anybody could burn himself or herself if one did...
Landlord Cuts Heating Costs
An investor I know had purchased a two family home a few years ago. It was a detached, ranch-style home with an oil fired boiler with one zone of heat for each apartment. At the time, he told me that he was breaking-even with his expenses. Not too long later, he said the rising oil prices were causing a loss and the rents he was collecting was not covering the expenses. He decided to convert the two zones of heat to electric baseboard heaters in each apartment. This is the way he did it: He had called his oil company to come drain out his existing baseboards of all the water and cap-off each zone of heat at the boiler. He then removed the baseboards from each apartment with a hacksaw. The next step...

Solving Hot Water Problems - Water Heater Applications
The primary purpose for which the water heater was invented is, as the name implies, to heat water. Much like the transfer of heat from the sun unto an exposed piece of metal, or boiling water by a stove, the ring boiler or other similar appliances, the water heater works with similar principle. Many sources of energy exist but natural gas is preferred in the case of water heaters. Propane is a highly volatile gas that imitates the combustion properties of natural gas, while electricity generated sufficiently can power anything, hence both are options with which to run a water heater if one were to run out of natural gas. The heater draws on more energy than is commercially wise to produce with...
