Do I Have a Boiler or a Furnace?

Maybe it is not a topic that has come up over the dinner table in your Colorado Springs home. We understand, but perhaps you wish to know the answer. Well, we’re glad you asked! In simple terms, a boiler is a heating appliance that is installed by a contractor, which is used to heat a building through the use of hot water or steam.

The terms boiler and furnace are often used interchangeably, but a furnace and a boiler are quite different. Unlike boilers, furnaces are connected to ductwork, and they blow hot or warm air throughout your home to maintain the temperature that has been set at the thermostat. This is known as a “forced air system.”

Now the best question is really this…if you have either a boiler or a furnace what is the best place to call for repairs? In the Colorado Springs area it is probably HVAC experts Altitude Heating and Air. That number (emergency or not) is (719) 209-4955. The website address is altitudehvacco.com. Stay comfortable throughout the remainder of this winter and beyond.

 

Just What is an HVAC System Anyway?

You see and hear this acronym all the time, but what does it stand for? HVAC in your Colorado Springs area home means heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. HVAC systems are common in our community’s single-family homes. In short, they provide environmental comfort. These systems use fresh air from outdoors to provide high indoor air quality.

There are several parts to your HVAC system including –

1.  The air return which marks the start of the system.

2.  Then there is the filter.

3.  There are exhaust outlets where the exhaust is expelled.

4.  There are also ducts where the air passes through.

5.  Electrical elements where trouble is likely to begin.

Add in the outdoor compressor and you have a system that requires the skill of a trained HVAC pro to repair or replace it. That is where Altitude Heating and Air enters the picture. For years, the Colorado Springs area has counted on Altitude to fix your HVAC system. See for yourself at altitudehvacco.com. and call (719) 209-4955 at the first sign of trouble.

I’m Melting.

It is very possible for your Colorado Springs home’s sump pump to quit working when snow is melting. This often happens because snow refreezes at night which may cause sump pump drain pipes to freeze. The pump may not be able to eject the water in the basement.

Should you worry about your basement when the snow starts melting? Here is a benchmark…significant melting can happen all at once, especially after record snowfall!
