How is a Boiler Different?
A furnace, heat pumps, and boiler are very much alike in that they all will heat your home. One of their biggest differences lies in how they heat your home.
A boiler generates hot water or steam, utilizing that to heat your home. The boiler’s hot water is typically distributed via baseboard radiators or radiant floor systems, while its steam is distributed by way of pipes to steam radiators throughout your home. This type of heat helps keep your indoor air quality (IAQ) high.
Boilers are also different than other heaters in that the heat from your boiler warms objects in your home, like your floors, furniture, and walls—even you. These items, in turn, then radiate that warmth to heat your home. This is in contrast to the way other heaters directly heat the air instead of generating heat to objects.
Most boilers are sealed systems. This means they reuse the water or steam in their systems—they don’t waste it. The recirculation and reuse process is one of the factors that makes boilers so efficient, because the boiler uses very little energy to reheat the returning water since it still contains heat.

Boiler Installations and Replacements
The time may come when you are looking to replace or retrofit your home’s boiler, or perhaps you may consider changing over to a boiler. At that time, our certified and insured experts can assist you in designing the most appropriate system for you and your home.
It is essential to have the appropriate-sized boiler in your home. A system too large or too small will never provide you with the amount of heat you need when you want it.
Our heating and cooling experts will perform the necessary Manual J load calculations to determine the perfect boiler for your home. We are not like other companies. We do not estimate what size boiler you need. We know.
Since we only use the highest quality and efficiency systems and materials, you can be confident when the cold weather hits, you will be comfortable in your home. And be sure to talk to us about our financing options if this can help you with a new boiler.
Boiler Maintenance
Most emergency repairs can be avoided by regular maintenance on your boiler. We recommend scheduling your boiler maintenance with us in the fall, before you need to turn your boiler on. Our HVAC professionals will clean and check your boiler system to ensure it’s prepared for the colder temperatures.
We also highly recommend participating in our maintenance program—a Service Plan Memberships—so we can assist you in your maintenance scheduling. There are various levels in our program, so you can enjoy assorted services and benefits specifically for your heating and cooling system and wallet.
Call 302-273-1341 and talk to one of our helpful team members about our program. We have something for everyone.
Oil Boiler? Let Us Handle Your Oil Delivery
With an oil boiler, the oil must be delivered to your home, unlike a gas boiler where the gas is dispensed through a pipe. Let us take care of your heating oil delivery for you. Talk to one of our Burns & McBride team members, and we would be happy to discuss your options for oil delivery—automatic delivery or call-in delivery.
Some homeowners prefer to have their oil delivered before the cold season hits to take advantage of lower oil costs. Others like to wait for their deliveries until they actually need to use their boilers. Either way, we can set up a schedule that works best for your needs.
