A boiler system heats the water inside a tank that supplies either hot water or steam, which flows through pipes and radiators to produce warmth. Most residential boiler systems are hot water heating systems. Some older homes and larger homes may have steam heating systems. Both steam and hot water heating systems are excellent for keeping your home warm during the cold winter months. A boiler normally sits on top of a burner where fuel is burned to produce heat. The most common fuel for boilers in the Annapolis, Maryland area is natural gas, which is usually piped into the house from a pipeline that runs under the streets or road. In rural areas, not served by natural gas lines, the most common fuel used is propane gas, which is kept in a large tank in the yard of the house. Propane is usually more expensive than natural gas. It costs about the same to operate a boiler as it does to run a forced-air system, but forced-air systems are usually less expensive to install.
Evaluating Types of Boiler Systems
There are two main types of boiler systems: Steam boilers and Hot water boilers. A steam boiler system heats water to create steam, which is pumped throughout the house’s radiators, whereas a hot water boiler system heats water and pumps it through radiators or baseboards in the house. In many cases, this will also heat water used for other purposes in the home, such as bathing and cooking, eliminating the need for a separate hot water tank. When considering a boiler system to purchase, you’ll want to consider the system’s operating efficiency. How efficient your new system is will determine the percentage of fuel that is used to create heat. Energy Star is a certification from the federal government that a boiler has an energy efficiency rating of over 85
High-Efficiency vs Standard Efficiency Boilers
If your unit is over ten years old, you’ll probably save money by installing a new system. However, it can be confusing to know what type of boiler is best for your home.What Makes a Boiler High-Efficiency? The way a boiler works is by heating water, which is conducted through radiators, radiant floor systems or a coil. With a standard boiler, some energy that is used to heat the boiler, whether it is fossil fuel or natural gas, is lost in the process of conducting. A high-efficiency boiler is designed to trap the escaping heat and direct it back into heating the home.
Why is High-Efficiency Important?
Low-efficiency means that fuel is wasted. Boilers over ten years old only have efficiency ratings between 50-70%. That means they use 50 to 70% of the fuel to heat the house, and the remaining 30-50% of the fuel goes to waste. The most significant thing you can do to reduce your home’s impact on the environment is to have an efficient heating system.

Sam Northup is the consummate professional. His displayed skill and workmanship gave me a new appreciation for the plumbing craft. He brought a creative solution to the problem of relocating the plumbing for a 1/2 bathroom vanity renovation. I knew from the moment he placed his shoe protectors on and engaged with his friendly, informative style that he was one of the best in the trade. He was clear, patient, listened to what I needed, and then proceeded to intelligently explain options. His approach was welcome and extremely rare in my experience with plumbers. It’s why I’ll call Staton or recommend them from now on. My very particular wife was very impressed and comfortable with Sam working in her house— that is the highest compliment I can give!

My neighbor had a gas leak that caused me and my other attached neighbors serious problems. Once the gas leak was found and BGE turned the gas off, the emergency was over. Until I had my gas turned back on and my water heater said not today. I have a company I usually call, but decided to get another quote from Staton since they could come out the next morning.
Matt came out and did a thorough examination, walked me through all of my options. Everything he said made sense but the deciding factor was that they could start the very next day.
Staton kept me updated the whole process. Matt came the next morning with help and replaced/upgraded my water heater, replaced my 20yr old water basin, and re-piped some areas to make it more efficient. All this in about 6 hours. Matt was awesome and was great with my dogs.
Now was this work cheap, absolutely not. But considering I bought my last water heater in 2015, inflation was coming for me. Besides all the work they did, I also bought their membership so something like this wouldn't catch me unprepared. So I have hot water again and no gas explosions. 10/10

Called Staton, once again, because the pipe connected to the
washer was overflowing with water during the final rinse and spin cycle. Before Vince, who was sent from Stanton' arrived at our home, I was presented with both a picture of Vince, and a little info on him. Felt like a knew him before he even arrived at our home. He did an outstanding job using one of Stanton,s coupons to clean out our pipe for $99.00. I was shocked at the reasonableness of this price. Vince was a wonderful man, and Stanton is a wonderful company. They are trustworthy, and they truly cared about us. Thank you, Stanton, for everything!!!

Called Staton for a heat pump check-up and found out we had a
faulty starter which could cause major problems down the road. Andrew my Staton technician clearly explained everything to me , but put no pressure on me to get it fixed immediately. I decided to get the job done at a great price. Andrew was awesome. He took care of my problem. He was a very professional, caring individual. I am very pleased with the results. I will not hesitate to call Staton again should I have another problem with my heat pump.
What a wonderful company. I went down into the basement this
morning (7/21/21 - Wednesday) and I found another leak in my
overhead copper piping. I tried to fix it myself, but I made it much
worse. I even had to turn the water off because of water escaping
from the copper pipe. I called Stanton and was greeted by a very
nice caring lady, and W. L. Staton was able to come out in the morning
to fix my leak. Joe and Paul were very nice polite professionals I
immediately took a liking to them . They ended up replacing all the
copper hot water pipes in the basement ceiling for a very
reasonable price. They quoted me the price before they began
the work! (I had many other small leaks in these pipes.) They
did a great job. NO MORE LEAKS!! I will recommend
them to others, and they will be my go to plumbers from
now on. Thank you W. L. Stanton!!
