Beckley, WV Boiler Installation

Traditional Heat-Only Boilers have a two-tank system. One tank stores cold water, and the other is used to maintain the normal water level of your home’s central heating system. One benefit of having a traditional boiler includes keeping up with a Beckley, WV winter’s heating demands. Even if you have low water pressure from your mainline, there is no drawback to the capability of the traditional boiler. Traditional boilers are also compatible with older heating systems. However, owning a traditional boiler can take up a lot of space, and you will lose more energy than alternative options if the tank is not insulated properly.

System Boilers accomplish the same task as a traditional boiler, but in a more energy-efficient way. These types of boilers have a single-cylinder that stores hot water, like traditional boilers, but the main difference is in how the boiler unit is constructed. The hot water & heating system components are built into the boiler unit itself, versus stand-alone units. This boiler system makes it simpler and easier to install—they do not require a separate tank to accomplish the same result. One benefit of having a System Boiler unit installed is that they are compatible with solar heating systems, making them more energy-efficient than alternative options.

A Combination Boiler system combines a central heating boiler and a high-efficiency water heater. The system doesn’t need a cylinder to store the water because the combination boiler heats the water directly from the mainline. Cost estimates for combination boilers tend to be lower than traditional boilers because they are smaller, more efficient, and less complicated. Another reason to consider a combination boiler is that there is no need to worry about water pressure—as mentioned previously, the water is heated directly from the mainline. Another great reason to select a combination boiler is that there is no waiting time, and hot water is on-demand because it does not have a water storage tank!
