Although baseboard heating is expensive to operate, hydronic style heaters usually aren’t as costly as other models because they maintain temperature longer than standard electric baseboard heaters. Since the liquid retains the heat longer, it prevents the thermostat from turning on and off as often, which makes it more energy efficient.

No. Boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different purposes. A water heater will never be able to supply warm water or steam for your central heating system. In most homes, a boiler and a water heater may be combined to provide heating and daily use of hot water. Other homes may opt for a furnace over a boiler for their heating needs.

A furnace takes in cool air, heats it through the burner and heat exchanger, and sends the air on its way to warm your home. A boiler is a pressurized vessel that produces hot water or steam to heat the home and provide hot water. A boiler may or may not work together with a furnace.
