How Does a Boiler Work?
There are several different types of boilers on the market. Knowing how a boiler functions will all depend on the type of boiler system you have or are interested in having. All boilers function in a similar way, namely by heating water in order to warm a space.
When your thermostat recognizes a drop in the temperature of your home, it sends a signal to the boiler to start working. Your boiler will turn on and use gas or electricity in order to create heat. This heat will then heat up water inside of the boiler. The hot water is then transported throughout your home through radiators or underfloor heating where it heats the air.
Signs You Need Boiler Repair
Like any other appliance, your boiler is bound to run into some issues. The average lifespan of your boiler can be anywhere from 10-15 years. Here are signs to look for that mean you need boiler repair:
