If given the choice, I would cherish to have a boiler installed in my loft rather than a boiler! The boiler requires air duct to distribute heated air to the rooms of the house! In the majority of situations, air duct can be blamed for allowing somewhere from twenty to forty percent of energy to escape through leaks and holes.
Those same imperfections draw in contaminants such as dust, fumes and VOCs and distribute them throughout the house; When the sizzling air flows from the vents, it naturally rises straight up to the ceiling, and because the warmest temperature is correctly up near the ceiling, higher temperature control settings are needed, but furnaces are often noisy, rely on a great deal of maintenance and create unpleasant temperature swings.
In comparison, boilers operate silently, and because of unquestionably few moving parts, require minimal upkeep. A boiler uses water to transfer heat energy throughout the house. Water heats up more suddenly and retains heat longer than air, shortening running times and increasing efficiency. The water travels through a series of pipes in a closed loop system. The same water is used over and over again. There is no option for pollutants to enter the system. Boilers provide such wonderfully scrub and gentle comfort, they are suggested for those who suffer from respiratory issues, dust sensitivities or asthma… Plus, hydronic heating won’t dry out the air, eliminating the need to run a humidifier. The boiler can link to any set up of radiators, baseboard boilers or radiant floors. They accommodate the easy set up zone control. With independent temperature controls located in each room, temperature can be personalized according to preference, occupancy and the unique challenges of the space.
