What is a Boiler?
A Boiler is an appliance that is used to heat a home, commercial space or perhaps a certain area of a space within the building envelope. Boilers are controlled by a thermostat that signals the appliance to come on in order to supply heat to a space. Boilers, contrary to the name, do not actually boil water but heat it to a desired temperature. Boilers can utilize many fuel sources in order to accomplish the goal of heating water. This includes natural gas, propane, oil or electricity as a means to create heat. Boilers may feed radiators, in floor heating loops, air handlers or point of use fans. A very versatile heating solution, boilers can be very efficient as water tends to retain heat much better than just air.

Creative Solutions Utilizing Boilers
When it comes to installing boilers to heat the home, there are many different ways to ensure the heat is distributed evenly.
Most Common – Baseboard Radiators
This is the most common solution and involves a loop of radiators installed on exterior walls of the home.
Most Aesthetically Pleasing – In-Floor Radiant Heating
Infloor radiant heat is very popular due to the fact you don’t see anything related to the heating system! It also ensures your floors are always incredibly comfortable under foot.
Forced Air Hydronic
Another popular solution wherein we tie a boiler into a heating coil above an air handler. This solution is popular because it allows you to add an air conditioner to the ductwork as well as heat.
Hybrid Solutions
We design many systems that are installed in Ottawa homes the utilize combinations of the above methods or even all 3!
