What makes a wall-hung boiler system an optimal choice for your home? Well, for the first benefit, the name says it all. Wall-hung boiler systems bring the boiler up off the floor – providing a safety net from such occurrences as basement floor moisture and flooding. As we’ve learned from the hurricanes we’ve experienced over the past couple of years, home flooding spells disaster when it comes to your HVAC equipment. Mounting your boiler on the wall can help keep it clear should a flood occur.
But are wall-hung boilers as effective and efficient as traditional boiler systems? Here’s where you might be surprised. For its smaller, more compact size, most wall-hung units are more than 90 percent efficient, and provide ample output for a standard home’s heating and hot water supply. Additionally, they provide quiet operation and can cut fuel consumption and gas emissions in comparison to conventional heating systems.
Wall-hung boilers are also space-savers. That’s because most of these systems are “packaged”, meaning that all of the features (such as sensors, microcomputer, condensing unit, etc.) that might be outside on a traditional system are completely built-in. Their compact size means that they can be installed in areas where larger boilers might not fit.
So when it comes time to replace your boiler system, consider a wall-hung boiler from T.F. O’Brien. We’ll show you your options, and provide you with the best in quality products and installation. Just give us a call at 516.488.1800 and we will be happy to assist you.
