Boilers are recommended for people with respirator sensitivities! Hydronic heating doesn’t make any noise, maintains a cleaner apartment plus doesn’t dry out the air.
Although forced air heating systems are the most popular option for residential application, I know that hydronic heating is better… A natural gas heating system relies on HVAC duct to convey heated air into the various rooms of the house, but ductwork is notorious for energy waste. In the majority of homes, the duct system allows up to 30% of heated air to escape through holes, leaks at the seams plus bad installation practices, and plus, the ducts tend to harbor contaminants that block airflow, reduce system efficiency plus spread into the breathing air. As the heated air flows from the vents, it tends to rise straight up to the ceiling. It only drops down after it has cooled off. This not only creates uncomfortable stratification however requires the heating system to run more often plus labor harder. Furniture needs to be arranged to accommodate the supply plus return vents. Another negative of a heating system is inadequate humidity. The blast of heat dries out the indoor air, causing health complications such as chapped lips, respiratory infection, headaches, sore throat plus angry dust sensitivity plus asthma symptoms. It can detriment hardwood floors, moldings plus furnishings. By comparison, a boiler uses water to move heat energy through a series of sealed pipes. There is no option for the water to escape or for pollutants to enter. Boilers are recommended for people with respirator sensitivities! Hydronic heating doesn’t make any noise, maintains a cleaner apartment plus doesn’t dry out the air. It provides a more consistent plus gentle comfort.
