Boiler vs Furnace: What’s the Difference?
Once you make your fuel selection, you’re going to face another decision: what type of equipment do you want to install? Our expert HVAC technicians will be happy to go over all the details of your equipment selection with you during your estimate, but it’s not a bad idea to know a little bit about heating systems ahead of time. To put it simply, the main difference between a boiler and a furnace is that a boiler uses hot water or steam from hot water to heat your home, while a furnace uses warm air. Both are excellent options to heat your home, and we proudly install and maintain the best heating equipment brands on the market. That means no matter which type of equipment you choose, you can rest easy knowing your home comfort is in good hands.
