Many homeowners use the words boiler and furnace interchangeably, but they're different systems that heat your home in different ways. Understanding yours helps you care for it and recognize trouble.
How a furnace works
A furnace heats air and distributes it through ductwork and vents, a system known as forced-air heating. It's the most common system in newer homes.
How a boiler works
A boiler heats water and circulates it through radiators or radiant floor systems. Boilers provide even, comfortable heat and are common in older homes.
Maintenance differs
- Furnaces need regular filter changes and duct attention
- Boilers need pressure checks and bleeding of radiators
- Both benefit from an annual professional tune-up
