When we consulted with an HVAC professional recently, he was telling us about all kinds of interesting heating systems we could go for.
- Initially, I just wanted to have our boiler replaced because it was so old.
We did have somebody check out the boiler system the previous year and he was saying how they didn’t build boiler systems that last long like that anymore. I wasn’t sure if what he was saying was accurate or not, but that did make me consider keeping the boiler for longer. Unfortunately, even though the boiler worked fine, I didn’t like the costly energy bills. Even with the house being sealed up for the winter season, the heating bills were still pretty darn expensive. This time, I was adamant about going for a heating system upgrade. The professional who came out this time was telling us about dual fuel heating systems which seemed nice to have. While many of the heating systems were interesting, nothing really stood out to us like radiant heated floors. The guy was saying that we could get a very nice boiler system that was built to last around 40 years and radiant heated floors would require minimal maintenance. He even said they were so confident in their installations and HVAC brands, that there would be a 25 year warranty, which isn’t too shabby! So we went for the radiant heated floor installation and so far we have been loving it! The only thing that was advised was switching our floors to tile ones, so that the heating could be radiated better through our home, and that was a good move!
