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.

He was about the most professional plumbing specialist I’ve ever had at my house. He was courteous, a terrific listener, interested in a wide variety of things and explain to me every single thing that he was doing. Asked me questions about what I wanted, what my expectations were, and the whole experience was very much a cooperative one. I was included in every bit of it all along the way

Staton was fantastic from the first point of contact (Brandon) to the project completion (Robert and his apprentice). Timely, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm very happy with the service received and I highly recommend them!

We have used Staton in the past for other issues, and they have always been so professional and on time! We had scheduled a water heater maintenance appointment which turned into a full replacement, but our technician Stephen made it such a seamless process. He was extremely efficient - went to get a new heater and installed it in record time - all within the timeframe we were given. He patiently answered all my questions and gave a thorough explanation of his work. He was also very polite and considerate of our home - wore shoes covers and had floor covers to protect the carpet - all without being asked. We are extremely pleased and grateful for the service!

Water heater installation (first review): We could not be happier with our experience with Staton HC&P, specifically our technician Joe Breig. Staton team was extremely responsive when we needed immediate attention for a leaking water heater. Joe was a consummate professional, who provided us with detailed information on our options and worked diligently to ensure that the work was completed to our satisfaction in the timeline that he provided us. Joe's affable demeanor put us at ease in making such a big decision worth thousands of dollars. We would recommend Joe and Staton team to anyone needing honest and professional work on their water heater installation (and other heating and cooling tasks). Thank you to Joe and Staton team for ensuring that we were happy and satisfied customers! AC/Furnace installation (second review): Since Google doesn't allow two separate reviews for the same business, I'll just add my review for our second experience with Staton here. Just like our first experience, Staton and its team members (Justin Edwards and Darrius Kennedy) were pleasure to work with in replacing our old AC/Furnace. From getting several quotes from Derrick to having the systems installed in one day, we couldn't be happier and more impressed by Staton from start to finish. Justin and Darrius were professional and friendly, and really displayed their expertise in AC/Furnace systems. Even when we ran into an issue due to the layout of our finished basement, Justin was able to recommend a solution that would complete the job without delay and without cutting corners. Truly two professionals doing amazing work. Also, I have to give Staton kudos for their financing options for such a large work. Getting surprised by an even better financing terms from what was initially quoted doesn't happen often, but we were pleasantly surprised by an awesome financing terms to make this project an absolute steal. Thank you! I'm certain that I will be adding more glowing reviews to this one in the future.

Once again, Staton Plumbing and heating you have sent another caring technician. Plumber Josh Starlings came out to check two major issues. One issue required immediate attention and the other I decided to wait until I had my thorough inspection with Staton. Afterwards, I explained to Josh that I had some concerns about the pipes that were running throughout the home. Josh immediately agreed to check the crawl space to give the pipes a check. While checking it was discovered that there was water running that could not be explained without further investigation. I really appreciate that Josh took his time to listen and check to see where the water was coming from. Josh treated the situation with care. He explained everything that was taking place as well as provided me with photos of the issue. Josh was able to take care of the problem to my satisfaction. A+ to you Josh Starlings for being an A-1 Technician!

Robert and his assistant were very friendly and professional. He explained the work masterfully, and reviewed it with me to ensure I was pleased with the finished product. He took the time to explain company benefits and products, as well as how to operate the newly installed features of my system. I will definitely work with them again.
