Boiler Heating Systems

Boilers

If you are currently using an older boiler heating system to heat your home more than likely you are paying to much on your utility costs.

Many older boilers operate at an efficiency rating at or below 60% in many cases a high-efficiency replacement boiler will begin paying for itself with your first month’s energy savings.

There are two types of boiler radiator heating systems; hydronic boiler heating systems and steam boiler heating systems. Nothing beats the charm of an old home, except possibly oppressive heating costs in the colder winter months. One of the architectural elements that contribute to such charm is a boiler radiator system, with their ornate radiators. Yet, as beautiful as they are, older boiler heating systems can and will leak, not to mention dated boilers are inefficient.

Hydronic Boiler Heating Systems

Hydronic boilers use natural gas or oil to heat water, which is then pumped through radiators, which deliver heat throughout your home. The most desired benefit of a new hydronic boiler radiator system, aside from retaining your home’s natural humidity levels, is they are now available in up to 96% efficiency. Another benefit to adding the high-efficiency hydronic boiler systems is the amount of space they take up, or rather how little. Hydronic boilers are small enough to mount to a wall, which allows you to maximize your home’s usable square footage.

Steam Boiler Systems

Most traditional residential boiler radiator (hydronic) heating systems use hot water rather than steam. With steam boiler systems, the boiler heats the water, which creates steam. A pump is then used to circulate high-pressure steam through radiating coils throughout the home. Steam boiler systems can only reach about 80% energy consumption rating, low in comparison to hydronic boiler heating systems. Climatech is one of the only Pittsburgh heating, cooling, & HVAC contractors that has the capability to repair or retrofit steam heating systems.

Climatech maintains, installs, services, and repairs boiler systems. Heating costs can also be lowered by ensuring your existing boiler heating systems are properly maintained. A leaking or clogged radiator means lost heat and thus lost energy, and though that tiny leak may look trite, neglected it can cost you hundreds or even thousands in water damage over time.

      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My air conditioning has been out for years. Clima Tech one again came and assessed the problem and quickly advised of a new unit that would fit my needs. During this hot summer they came out in two days and installed the a/c.    Quick and clean!  Professional and reliable.  Would recommend them over and over.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Urgent service on July 4 th weekend. I was called back promptly- explained the rate and they were there within 2 hours on a holiday weekend Saturday late afternoon- I was blown away! Knowledgeable and respectful diagnosed and got my older Central Air working while we didn’t know for how long. Still working on Monday they priced a total replacement. I decided to do it, and by 5 days later I had a new warrantied HVAC system that is amazing. Respectful, courteous and amazing finish work through cement basement walls. Incredible company with incredible talented staff! I can’t thank them enough!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Climatech install a ductless mini-split system to cool our 1930 boiler-heated Pittsburgh home. Mike, who gave us the estimate, was knowledgeable and inspired a lot of confidence in their process and workmanship. Al and Mitch showed up early each day to execute the installation and did a great job. Climatech was not the least-expensive quote that we got, but when you put such significant investment into your home, it's important to have it done right.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Climatech installed my original central air conditioning system in 2011, and then this year installed a new condenser. My old AC condenser broke in the middle of a heat wave. They responded quickly and found installed a new condenser for me within one day. And the price was fair. Can’t ask for more than that.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Al and Mitch were excellent and professional while installing our new furnace and AC units. Arrived on time (early actually) and wasted no time in getting us set up. The entire process with Climatech was fantastic from start to finish. I'd recommend them to anyone.
