I can’t believe I almost got rid of it
When I first moved into my house I had a whole list of things I wanted to change. I wanted to paint every room, redo the flooring, get rid of the bushes, paint the outside of the house, add to the home, and remove the old boiler system. There were so many projects to do and things to buy. Of course, some things got priority and others got forgotten. I am so glad that I ended up leaving the boiler system. I had too many expenses to justify changing a heating system that worked. After cleaning up and redoing the home, I then did a winter with the boiler and never looked back. A boiler is an awesome heating system. It is like a tank. You can have one small boiler heat an entire house in minutes. It is reliable and hardly requires repairs. A boiler just doesn’t wear out and needs maintenance. Furnaces, heat pumps, and other heaters require yearly love and care. A boiler can be ignored and still keep on running. A boiler can live anywhere from 50-80 years. The kicker is that they live so old replacement parts sometimes stop being made for them. That is the main reason people have to change their boilers. They are super expensive, but once you own one, you are good to go. I can’t believe I almost got rid of it. It is versatile too. I can hook up piping to have heated flooring, a snowmelt system, a pool heater, or be used as my family’s water heater.
