Heating efficiency is very crucial for your home, especially during those chilly months. But have you got any clue as to what system will work best for your home? There are two types of heating system, Boiler, and Furnace. It is important to know which of these are best in heating and at the same time, will take down your energy costs. Before proceeding, let’s learn as to what exactly is Boiler and Furnace.

A Furnace and a Boiler are both systems of forced air heating that are designed to sustain a constant and steady temperature inside the home or building. In the central location, the air heats and pushes that hot air through the ductwork. Let’s take a look at the difference and benefits of these two systems.

How Does Furnace Works?

Air is used in the Furnace heating system that would be transferred all over your home. The air is heated by a furnace and is then spread out by a blower all over the air duct system of your home. The room and the other place get the hot air through vents or registers in the walls, floor or ceiling. The furnace can be operated on natural gas, electricity, oil or propane.

Pros of Furnace

• Less expensive
• No hazards in the leak, or freezing
• Easy to repair and install

Cons of Furnace

• ·Poor efficiency
• Low heat consistency
• Air quality is inferior

How do Boiler works?

Boilers are of two types, Hot water, and steam. The heat from the steam boilers is spread through the pipes to the steam radiators. The hot water boilers spread heat from the radiant flooring or the baseboards radiators. Boilers can be operated on various sources of energy like electricity, natural gas, wood, and oil.

Pros of Boilers

• Energy efficient
• Consistent flow of heat
• The quality of air is high

Cons of Boilers

• Expensive
• Slow to adjust
• Converting is difficult
• Not good in cooling
• Leak hazard
