Hydronic Boiler

Hydronic boiler heating systems are less dry, less dusty and provide more comfort compared to heat from forced air heating systems. With over 39 years in business, Richardson Wes Heating & Plumbing is familiar with hydronic boilers. We provide you with heating services ranging from sales, installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the boiler in your home.

Boiler heat water to produce ‘wet heat’ in the form of hot water, which is then pumped through a network of pipes to provide efficient warmth throughout a resident. Popular boilers come in efficiencies from 85% to 97%.

To Improve hydronic boiler energy efficiency, our professionals will provide an annual maintenance service which can restore boilers for energy saving. Richardson Wes Heating & Plumbing also provides new installations of hydronic boiler heating systems. Our experience with legacy and modern boiler systems will keep your boiler running efficiently year around.

Install a high efficiency boiler to save on energy bill and lower carbon emission at the same time.

According to Natural Resources Canada, ‘An ENERGY STAR certified boiler, fuelled by gas uses 10% less energy, fuelled by oil uses 4% less energy, on average, than a standard model. Space heating represents 63% of your home energy use and offers the most potential for cutting your energy bill. Saving energy saves money and reduces your carbon footprint.’

And, according to the US Department of Energy, ‘Upgrading your furnace or boiler from 56% to 90% efficiency in an average cold-climate house will save 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year if you heat with natural gas, or 2.5 tons if you heat with oil.’

Furnace & Boiler Maintenance

We have a team of technicians and our service rates are more than competitive in the business.

The following maintenance should be provided by a heating system professional.

Check the condition of your vent connection pipe and chimney. Parts of the venting system may have deteriorated over time. Chimney problems can be expensive to repair, and may help justify installing new heating equipment that won’t use the existing chimney.
Check the physical integrity of the heat exchanger. Boiler heat exchangers may leak water and are easy to spot. Furnace heat exchangers mix combustion gases with house air when they leak—an important safety reason to have them inspected. Combustion gases leaking into the house can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. It is suggested that ever home have a working carbon monoxide detector.
Adjust the controls on the boiler or furnace to provide optimum water and air temperature settings for both efficiency and comfort.
