I have lived in houses equipped with a forced air furnace and those with boilers.
There is a substantial difference between a heating idea that uses air to transfer heat energy and 1 that uses water.
A furnace requires a network of ducts that transfer the heated air to the numerous rooms and pull out the stale air. As the air circulates through these pipes, it can choice up any dust, bacteria, mold spores or contaminants that are concealed inside and spread them into the breathing air. The majority of duct systems have tiny holes, cracks and imperfections that allow up to 30% of the heated air to escape. The operation of the air duct is correctly quite noisy. When the warm air flows out of the vents and into the room, it naturally rises up toward the ceiling. It only drops down after it has cooled. The process is inefficient and creates uncomfortable temperature swings. A higher control component setting is necessary because the highest temperature is near the ceiling. A boiler uses water rather than air to transfer heat. There is a closed loop idea that uses the same water over and over again. It avoids spreading contaminants, makes no noise and there are no energy losses due to leaks, rather than getting blown in the room, the heat is infused into the air by way of a radiator, baseboard oil furnace or radiant floors. There are no drafts, no frigid spots and the temperature everywhere in the room remains within many degrees of the control component setting. Boiler heating is more gentle and doesn’t dry out the air. It allows for the easy set up of zone control. With a control component in each room, it’s possible to customize the temperature according to requirements, preference and occupancy.
