Then here are 5 facts you should know before you buy your new boiler.

1. Boilers Don’t Boil Water: Most people are still living with the misconception that boilers boil water. This was true in earlier boiling systems that were mostly used in industries.

n misconception regarding boilers is that they boil water and release the steam into the air making it humid. Modern boilers are completely compact systems that do not let any water release into the air in any form. In reality, the water is heated to the point where it rises, then the hot water is passed through water pipes and radiators that radiate the heat in the air. At no point does the vapour get released into the air.

3. Modern Boilers Pay for Themselves: Unlike the old boiling systems, modern boilers are made to be energy efficient which means they pay for themselves in the long run. Think of all the money you will save in the form of low consumption bills. Modern boilers use 90% less water and fuel which means all the money you invested in buying the boiler will return to you in form of savings on energy bills. 

4. Modern Boilers are Environment Friendly: Modern boilers fuelled by natural gas are completely packed systems. They do not come with vents or flue pipes which means there are no gases being released into nature. However, one should always take proper precautions to avoid gas leakage into the home. The best way to do that is to check the boiler flame regularly. The flame should be a bright blue. If the flame turns orange or yellow, it means that the boiler is malfunctioning and there might be carbon monoxide leakage into your home. For added safety, you should also install carbon monoxide detection alarms since it is impossible to detect because of the absence of odour, colour, or smell.

5. Easy Maintenance: Like any other machine, boilers also need maintenance to keep working efficiently. However, modern boilers do not require much. An annual service is enough to ensure that it is working correctly.
