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.

What started out as a customer who felt he was being taken advantage of, turned out to be a customer who gained a tremendous amount of respect and gratitude for Staton Plumbing. They definitely stand behind their service and their technicians.

I called Staton about a toilet leak that caused damage to my basement ceiling. The first technician came and unfortunately misdiagnosed the problem. After he left, the leak continued and got worse. He came back the next day and told me it was another problem and would cost more money. Being upset that I already paid for a repair that did not fix the toilet, I asked the technician to leave.

I made a call and told my story to the supervisor at Staton and without question, he expressed that he understood my situation. I expected that I would pay the difference on a second repair, but because he understood what I had been dealing with and the stress it created, he offered to install a new upgraded toilet for no additional charge.

I am grateful that Staton did the right thing and want to thank them for their integrity and professionalism.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Kramer

Stephen Stuart and Logan did a fantastic job! Stephen came out yesterday and assessed the issues with my toilets and hot water heater and gave me a reasonable quote. He and Logan came back today, arrived promptly, and efficiently and professionally installed the new equipment. Stephen explained everything before the work started and then walked through all the projects after they were installed. Very knowledgeable and good at explaining things to a non-plumber. This is my second experience with Staton and I will definitely call them again!

Jason was quick and helpful in diagnosing the problem. When we determined the leak was likely not plumbing related (though still a mystery that left us both scratching our heads) he did not charge us, which was greatly appreciated.

Had a supply line leak in a concrete floor. Staton plumbers are the best. They explained everything. The plumber that worked on my house (Joe) was really detailed in his explanation of things and was on time during the survey and the repair work. The price was very good and he worked fast. I was expecting things to take much longer with all the concrete work needed. Not only did they (Joe and Ruffin) fix the leak but they even filled back in the concrete. I didn't have to hire a separate contractor for that. On top of all that, there was no dust from the work filling my house. After the plumbing work I had to have my vents cleaned due to the water from the plumbing leak getting in the duct work. Staton has this service as well. This made my experience much easier not having to hire separate contractors for everything. The hvac techs (Rodney and Danico) were just as good as the plumbers the day before. They showed up on time and were also very professional. They explained what they needed to do and got right to work. They got the foul smell from the stagnant water in the vents out and the house smells fresh again. They did this faster than I expected as well. Statons technicians have overall left me very impressed. I have had many tradesmen working on my house over the years and this is the first time that I've actually been impressed. To make things even better, their customer service is excellent. Everyone that I spoke to on the phone were professional and helpful. They contact you to make sure it's ok to send out their techs even when you have a confirmed appointment time window. This seems small but it's a huge help to prevent you from missing your appointment and also prevents you from feeling like you can't leave the house because the workers may show up at any time. They even called to remind me of additional benefits of services that I purchased so I don't miss out on them and waste money. If you live in their service area, definitely go with Staton.
