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.

We have used W.L. Staton since we bought our home. They are always responsive, know their stuff, keep us apprised of what work needs to be done and why, are transparent about pricing, and explain what's happening as they proceed. The techs who come to our home are always friendly and polite, and Joe was no exception. Very satisfied with the service. 3/14/26: This past week we had Staton replace two aging air-conditioning units in our home with new Bosch heat pumps. Our home was built in 1963, and we know from many previous projects that it sometimes has odd quirks and unpleasant surprises in store for the unwary renovator/installer; so we were nervous about this project, particularly since one of the units to be replaced was tucked away in a very tight area under the roof, accessible only through a small panel located high on a wall in a back closet. But the installation went like a dream. Chip and his team were true professionals--they arrived on time, they were friendly and courteous, they explained everything they would be doing on the walk-through, they protected our floors and carpets (and made sure everything was clean before they left), and they completed the work ahead of the expected schedule. Before leaving, they tested the new system and gave us a little tutorial on how to use the new thermostats. And they also told us that if we had any questions or problems , Chip would be happy to come back out and take care of them for us. We are now enjoying the benefits of the new installation and are totally satisfied with the product and the work done to install it. (And I should mention that we had bids from several companies on this project, and Staton's was not only very competitive initially, but also they worked with use to make the final price one we were comfortable with.) So, to sum up: Staton remains our go-to provider of plumbing and HVAC services.

Highly recommend Staton and Josh! Was able to get a next day appointment for HVAC repair. Josh came out within the scheduled timeframe, called me close to arrival, was very thorough and quickly identified the problem. He then patiently explained everything to me step by step. Repairs were completed quickly, professionally, with respect to my home and property, and did not cost me an outrageous amount. Overall, an excellent experience!
