"I appreciated being able to speak with someone in the office to explain my situation (leaking water heater), and having someone come to my home so quickly to go over my options for dealing with the problem. Dylan, Aaron and the entire crew were so professional and knowledgeable about the on-demand hot water system we chose to install. They were a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them to friends in need of similar services."

"On a Monday holiday I turned on my air conditioner and it refused to work. I went to HomeAdvisor and left my name and phone number but called a company that has worked for me before where I got a recorded message. In the meantime Burke plumbing and heating called and left me a message to call them. I called them and they said that they would send someone out that very afternoon. I needed a complete new furnace and compressor. The next day he ordered everything he needed and it arrived to be stored in my garage overnight. The next day he and another workman arrived at 8 AM removed the old system and installed the new. They were finished by 1:30 PM, cleaned up and everything worked like a charm, I would definitely recommend Burke plumbing and heating to anyone needing their service."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

Generally, an oil furnace is considered safer than a gas furnace for several reasons. While both types of furnaces can produce carbon monoxide, a leak in an oil furnace is easier to detect due to the smell. Oil furnaces also don't connect to a gas pipeline, which reduces the chance of a fuel leak. Most importantly, heating oil is not combustible, whereas natural gas is highly flammable. This means there is a much lower risk of combustion or explosion with an oil furnace. However, an oil furnace can still pose a fire hazard if it tips over.

A home radiator works by using radiation and convection to transfer heat throughout your home. Electric radiators use metal to conduct heat and warm the air, which then rises to warm the room. Steam and hot water radiators work with a boiler and piping system to pump thermal energy throughout the home. Hot water radiators use a boiler to heat the water before circulating it to the radiator, while steam heating radiator systems convert the heated water to steam before circulating it out. When the water or steam cools, it travels back to the boiler to be heated again.

If your boiler is 20 years old, it’s time to get a new one. Although it may seem to be working fine, it’s likely eating up more fuel than it should. Also, compared to a brand-new boiler, one that’s 20 years old is probably not working as well. When you get your new unit, you’ll notice that your home is heating more quickly, and the heat is consistent throughout all the rooms.

Using heating oil to heat your home has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. 

Consider these drawbacks before installing a heating oil system:

  • Heating oil prices fluctuate frequently

  • Risk of oil spills or leaks

  • Produces more air pollution and soot compared to a gas furnace

  • Regular maintenance required for equipment

  • Need to reorder heating oil consistently to avoid running out

Unless they are connected to the same system, boilers and water heaters will both need their own expansion tanks. The only case they wouldn’t have separate expansion tanks is if the boiler is pulling double duty and managing a heating system while also supplying hot water for a home. In which case, you may not need a hot water heater.
