Boilers Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
“There’s nothing as comfortable as a boiler heated home. I’m so impressed with the comfort that a boiler delivers, that I catch myself designing what it would be like to add a boiler to my own home.”

What is a Boiler Heating System? A boiler is a type of hydronic heating system, meaning it uses water as the heat transfer medium. A boiler heating system uses natural gas to heat water inside a tank. The hot water moves through pipes and provides radiant heat to your home, usually in the form of baseboard heaters or a radiator (which radiates heat into the room). The boiler system is unique in that there is no need for ductwork, fans, blowers, or any of the other components needed with traditional forced air system.
At Home Mechanix, we task ourselves with ensuring your boiler is functioning without flaw, checking your heat at the source and at various locations throughout your home.
Did you know that most traditional forced air homes lose as much as 30% of their capacity due to duct work that leaks?
Benefits of Boilers to Heat Your Home
Boiler Heating Systems work by heating water and dispersing the heat. It converts water to either hot water or steam which then moves through pipes that release heat inside the home. The water is continuously rerouted back to the boiler where it gets recycled and reheated for continuous heating.
- Increased Comfort. Heating your home with a boiler provides a high-quality heat that is cozy and comfy. The heat is infused into the room as opposed to being forced through duct work and vents. This gives the heat a different, fresher feeling and dispenses the heat more evenly.
- Enhanced Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Boilers offer a form of heating that does not produce dust particles and other allergens. Compared to a forced air system that recycles dust and allergens into your living space.
- Modern Features: Boilers are feature rich. Now you can get user-friendly programming and zoning capabilities. Homeowners can distinguish zones within the home and programmable thermostats allow automating the start and stop of the heat delivery as well.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation: Many homeowners are relieved that they won’t have to hear the furnace “kick on “ or “kick off” not to mention the noise as the air circulates out of the vents.
- Less Repair Needed: Because the boiler has fewer moving parts when compared to a traditional forced air system, it usually translates into less wear and tear and therefor few repair issues.
