I have lived with a boiler in my house for quite some time… The boiler was hooked up to my baseboards to even create heating in my home, but I am not going to lie, I am not a fan of baseboard heating.
I feel it looks ugly as well as does not labor that well.
Thankfully I found a way to utilize my boiler more effectively. I had it in my head that I wanted to redo my flooring. I started ripping up the outdated carpet as well as picked out a gray, porcelain tile. I had already bought all the tile, brick board, mastic, as well as screws. I had ripped out the carpet, laid my brick board as well as was ready to cement when I did some extra research. I stumbled upon hydronic heating. Apparently all you need to do is have piping hooked to your boiler as well as laid over the brick board. The boiler heats water that flows through the pipes to create heated flooring. This hydronic heating system is quiet in operation as well as doesn’t stir up dust or create freezing spots due to it being water as well as not forced air. Another pro is that the heating system is hidden under the tile. It won’t sustain any disfigurement or wear as well as tear. The heat flooring also warms anything touching it. So the couch, loveseat, as well as chairs all feel heated as a result. It lasts a long time as well as frees up space. I was instantly on the phone with my heating business to have my baseboard heating changed to a hydronic heater. It is such a better heater.
