I have recently discovered that boiler systems are the most amazing pieces of heating device out there.
I got our forever cabin recently & had a whole bunch of fluctuations I wanted to make to it.
The one thing I wanted to go was the boiler system. It took up the vast majority of our basement, was rusted & ugly. Unluckyly buying a new heating program is so expensive. I had other priorities inside the house. I needed to replace rotting drywall & service a plumbing issue. I also wanted new lights & windows more than a heater. I am so thankful that I didn’t replace the oil furnace immediately, however after going through a Winter season with a boiler, I will never own another heater. My boiler is so awesome. It can handle sub zero un-even temperatures without a hitch. It never complains either. I give it no heating service or repairs & it still runs. I did some googling online & boilers can live over 50 years too. The only reason people lose out on their boilers is that they are so outdated that replacement parts are no longer made. I also found there are lots of things boilers can do. You can hook piping up to them & install it into the floors. Now you have hydronic radiant floors. You can have towel heaters, a cabin water heater, snowmelt program or even a pool oil furnace with this system. It is so adjustable & powerful. The boiler has already lasted a few years in the cabin without showing any signs of stopping. I will someday replace it with another boiler system.
