Boiler

A heating system that uses hot water or steam distributed through pipes and radiators to heat your home, rather than forced air through ducts.

What Is a Boiler?

Unlike a furnace that heats air, a boiler heats water and distributes it through a network of pipes to radiators, baseboard heaters, or radiant floor systems throughout your home. Some boilers produce steam instead of hot water. Boilers can run on natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity. While less common in newer Southern Oregon construction, many older homes still rely on boiler systems for their even, comfortable heat distribution.
