“Do I have a Furnace or a Boiler?”

Dibiase Heating And Cooling Company.1.2205031036550

A funny thing frequently happens when we arrive at a customer’s home during the heating season. It starts with being called to come to take a look at their furnace. Nothing funny about that, right? But when we arrive, we discover that the heating system isn’t anchored by a furnace at all, but a boiler instead.

Okay, so maybe that’s not all that funny, but it does help prove one point: that the vast majority not only of our customers but people around the country call their heating system a furnace, even when it isn’t.

Are you 100% sure which type you have (unless, of course, your home is heated by a ductless air system or heat pump)?

Here’s the basic difference. A furnace heats air and distributes it through your home’s ductwork. A boiler (which can be gas or oil-fired) heats water and distributes the heated water through a network of pipes to your baseboard units, radiators, and in-floor radiant heating system.

Furnaces and boilers are actually profoundly different, so if you’re at or getting to the point of purchasing a replacement heating system, here are a few of those differences worth keeping in mind:

As you can see, it’s anything but a “no-brainer” when trying to choose between a new furnace or boiler. That’s where we come in: DiBiase Heating & Cooling Company.
