Get matched with top boiler installation pros in Pajaro, CA

All modern boilers are condensing boilers because they’re the most efficient type. Instead of extra heat leaving through the flue, these boilers trap the heat and use it to heat the house. Whether you choose a combi boiler, system boiler, or regular boiler, you can opt to get a condensing system. If you have an old boiler that’s not a condensing boiler, it’s a good idea to get an upgrade.

Both hydronic and electric hydronic heaters usually come with a higher price tag up front, but you can save more on energy costs over time compared to standard heaters. They also provide heat for a short time after the heater is actually turned off, making them more efficient. Additionally, standard convection heaters use electric coils to heat up the air, whereas hydronic heaters warm up water or oil which then heats the air.

If you want to have hot water in your home and part of your plumbing system, you'll need a hot water heater. An alternative may be to heat water as you use it, such as by boiling what you need on the stove. But that's much less efficient and takes considerably longer than hooking up a water heater. Another option is to rely on appliances, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, that heat the water themselves.
