A Legacy Built on Reputation

Boilers, usually associated with older homes, continue to enjoy popularity as a heat source, especially with their modern version, radiant floor heating. Whether your boiler came with your century home or you have installed radiant heat in your home’s new addition, you have chosen water as your heat source.

Boilers and radiant systems work by distributing boiling water or steam through radiators or pipes which in turn radiate that heat into the room. Modern or new heating systems are often hot water systems that use baseboard pipes or pipes run beneath flooring, while in older homes, steam radiators are the most common form of heat distribution. The technology has been around a long time, but the systems tend to be efficient and render a home virtually free of allergens since they don’t use a blower and forced air, which sends dust and allergens throughout the home via your ductwork.

At Clayton, we are experts on old boilers as well as new radiant heating systems. Our HVAC contractors will gladly advise you on the benefits of keeping your old boiler running. Sometimes conversions or upgrades will help with efficiency and safety, but often a good cleaning and some consistent maintenance services are all an old boiler needs to keep your home comfortable and your family happy. If you need an emergency service done, we are happy to help with that too.

Steam and radiant heat are great options for energy efficiency and comfort in your home. More modern versions work well with today’s zone control systems and thermostats, while older radiators have valves that allow the homeowner to adjust the steam and heat release with a turn of the knob. Also, ask our experts about automatic radiator valves that can make zone controls in larger homes quick and easy. We are equipped to handle all types of heating systems and HVAC systems in the Northern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania areas.
