Boilers

After a severe storm causes a power outage or disrupts gas service, it’s not uncommon for a home boiler to fail to ignite once utilities are restored. Many modern boilers automatically shut down during power interruptions to protect the system, and sometimes a simple reset or quick system check is all that’s needed to get [...]

When your boiler turns on and off repeatedly in short bursts, it’s a sign of a problem known as short-cycling. Instead of running long enough to heat your home efficiently, the system shuts down and restarts repeatedly, wasting energy and placing unnecessary strain on critical components. Over time, this constant cycling can increase utility bills, [...]

Colorado homeowners choosing a heating system face a long-term decision that affects comfort, energy bills, and equipment lifespan. Hydronic systems circulate hot water through pipes in floors, walls, or baseboards, delivering consistent radiant heat. Forced air systems push heated air through ductwork to warm rooms via convection. Colorado’s high elevation, cold winters, and dry air [...]

Your Arvada home's heating bills seem higher every winter, and you suspect your old boiler might be the culprit. Understanding boiler efficiency ratings can help you make smart decisions about repairs, replacements, and energy savings. This guide explains what efficiency ratings mean, how they impact your energy costs, and when it makes sense to upgrade. [...]

Denver’s mid-century homes, built between 1945 and 1970, are uniquely suited for radiant heating retrofits. These post-war houses often feature concrete slab foundations, open floor plans, and straightforward construction techniques, all of which make installing modern hydronic or electric radiant systems simpler and more cost-effective. The slab provides natural thermal mass, absorbing and releasing heat [...]

The home heating boiler market has shifted dramatically over the past decade, with combination boilers, or combi units, now accounting for 67% of new heating system installations in homes under 1,500 square feet. This trend reflects more than homeowner preference—it mirrors changes in building codes, energy efficiency standards, and urban housing design. Combi boilers save [...]
