Boilers make hot water that runs through pipes to distribute heat around a house. They have several different distribution methods. They can distribute heat through radiators, hot water baseboards and via in-floor radiant tubing. A boiler’s design allows it to be used more easily for zone heating in comparison to a furnace. The efficiency of a boiler is determined by figuring out its AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. The AFUE rating refers to the ratio of the annual heat output of the boiler and the total annual energy that it consumes.

When choosing your boiler, you should aim to get one with an AFUE rating that’s as high as possible. Modern boilers typically have AFUE ratings that are as high as 90% or more. If you have an old boiler system, then we highly recommend switching to a modern model in order to make your home more energy-efficient. You’ll save money on heating and you’ll definitely notice the improved comfort.
