Installing a Steam Boiler in our HVAC System Today

Today is a pretty exciting day because we are switching over to a steam boiler to heat our house and it is going to save us quite a bit of money.

Steam boilers are great because you don’t need to have a heat pump and they require very little care and maintenance so I think we made a good choice.

The steam is used to create the heat to heat the house and it is one of the most efficient heating methods out there as of now. We had an old electric heat pump but it was using a lot of energy to heat the house so after doing some research we decided to go with the steam boiler. I think we can do the replacement in a couple of hours and we will then be set for years to come. My friend works in the HVAC field and he told me he has installed several steam boilers and it isn’t a big deal for him to do. If I tried to do it myself it would probably take a week and I probably would install it backwards and it would cool the house instead, haha. They don’t cost that much and save the environment so I wonder why everyone doesn’t have a steam boiler in their house for heating. I guess there are other ways, like solar, to heat the house without using that much energy. After we do this job we are going to work on the air conditioner and the ducts. I don’t think we have cleaned the ducts in years.
