Regular boiler maintenance is essential for safe, efficient operation and preventing costly breakdowns. Our Houston boiler maintenance services include:
For most Houston homes, we recommend annual boiler maintenance before winter arrives to ensure your system is ready when temperatures drop.
Boilers heat water to create hot water or steam, circulating it through pipes to radiators, baseboards, or in-floor heating. Unlike furnaces, boilers transfer heat via radiation and convection, providing even warmth without moving air. Hot water boilers are common in Houston, offering efficiency during our brief heating season.
Houston’s climate suits various boiler types: conventional boilers (cost-effective for limited winter use); high-efficiency condensing boilers (capture extra heat from exhaust); combi boilers (provide heating and hot water without a tank); steam boilers (typically found in older homes); and electric boilers (don’t require gas lines). Each system has advantages for different needs.
Modern boilers operate safely continuously, and in Houston’s mild climate, maintaining a consistent temperature is often more efficient. During colder periods, keeping a moderate temperature (around 60-65°F) when away prevents freezing and reduces reheat energy. Programmable thermostats can optimize comfort and efficiency.
Boilers circulate hot water or steam through pipes for radiant heat, while furnaces heat air and distribute it through ductwork. Boilers offer even, consistent heating, quieter operation, and higher efficiency, especially in mild winters. Furnaces are initially cheaper and can share ductwork with air conditioning.
Yes, modern boilers, especially high-efficiency condensing models (90-98% AFUE), are highly efficient for Houston’s climate. They maintain efficiency over time and provide radiant heat, comfortable at lower settings, further reducing energy use. Programmable thermostats can optimize boiler operation for maximum efficiency.
