BOILERS

Maintaining, Upgrading, and Retrofitting Your Boiler

Modern boiler systems can increase the efficiency of your home from 70% to 98.5%. They can convert nearly all the fuel into proper heat for your home. In the Mankato Area, we use heat up to nine months out of the year. Older boilers can be large and inefficient. This is why it makes financial sense to upgrade your system to a new, more efficient model installed by Kelley Heating and Air Conditioning.

Boilers use pressure and combustion to heat your home, making regular maintenance by a professional. Regular maintenance increases your boiler's efficiency and ensures it works correctly and safely. Work with our trained and experienced professionals to size your boiler or retrofit it to maximize its energy efficiency.

Benefits of Choosing a Boiler Over a Furnace

  • A boiler drives most heating systems that produce radiant and consistent heat.

  • A boiler uses hot water or steam to heat your living space instead of a furnace that uses warm air.

  • Because the heat comes from below, radiant heat provides an even and efficient heat distribution throughout the room.

  • Rather than the heat rising and hovering near the ceiling, it stays where needed most - at the ground level.

  • If your home has baseboards, then it most likely uses a boiler system to pump hot water through the pipes under them.

  • The heat from the hot water radiates through the subfloor to heat the room.

  • The water allows the heat to be held for longer, making homes with boilers more evenly heated than those with forced air systems.

Requirements for Boiler Maintenance

  • Check the condition of your vent connection pipe and chimney.

  • Check the physical integrity of the heat exchanger.

  • Adjust the boiler or furnace controls to provide optimum water and air temperature settings for efficiency and comfort.

  • If you are considering replacing or retrofitting your existing heating system, have the technician perform a combustion-efficiency test.
